/media/B826-3C5D/ is the mounted file system.
I believe you want to run fdisk on the device, not the mount.
So you might need to umount the device first.
Google  "linux fdisk format flash drive"

I just checked my notes and I just did this for my messed up flash drive:

root>  umount /dev/sdb

root>  mkfs.vfat -n pny8gb -I /dev/sdb   #### pny8gb is the volume name.

If that doesn't work get a hammer and end this...
