Is there a write protection switch on the card?

It's most likely because the destination is write-protected. Some memory cards have a (very small) write protect tab on one edge.

If not that, it's likely that the folder on the card that you're trying to copy to is read-only. If you view the card in My Computer, right-click the destination folder, choose Properties and see if the read-only box is ticked. If so, untick it and you're sorted.
