Your SD card has failed. One of the failure modes is that it permanently goes read only in an attempt to preserve your data. What you're seeing is the result of the OS caching changes in memory. When you reboot, you lose the contents of the cache so you're seeing the unaltered card contents again. All you can do it buy a new card.
