Why I can’t see a lock 🔒 icon on SanDisk drive

I can’t drag and drop my files into the SanDisk. I saw sharing and permissions are Read only I want to change it to Read and Write only. But I can’t see any other options. I restarted and tried to erase and format it. it it’s not even erasing the SanDisk.
