I had similar issue and could not fix using Disk Utility.... it would give error trying to do repair and was marke read only as you mentioned. I was only able to fix it by formatting drive by plugging it into my Android device. I lost all of data on it but was not using it for backup. It is plugged back in now and shows up as writeable instead of read only but I have not tried using it again to actually store any data.
