When you plug it in to the computer does it appear as a usb drive. If so use your pc to format it

Are most mp3 flash disks FAT16?

Change the format? Re-formatting means to erase everything on the player.

So, firstly, copy everything that is on the player on to your computer.

What happens when you 'right click' on the drive created by the MP3 player? Do you see the option to 'Format'?
