You do not give very much information about your system...
Ok, assuming you have set up the block device correctly.

I had a similar problem that boiled down to that the driver
from the manufacturer hardcoded the partition to be read-only.

in my case the apropriate file was:
linux/arch/arm/mach-ks8695/ks8695_mm.c

The partition had been set read-only by adding:
  .mask_flags = MTD_WRITABLE

to the partition struct.
