How to programatically restrict access to USB (removable) driver? More exactly, I need to write a program that sets the password on the USB driver. Can someone explain how to start or bring an example?

Yes, and that's quite complicated...
First, there is no way of setting a password on a device driver.(except if you write the device driver yourself, or you install a filter driver on top of the USB driver or disk driver)
Second, editing the local policies or group policies programmatically is not for the faint of heart...

Access to USB devices is controlled in the system policy.
Computer->Administrative Templates->System->Device installation restrictions.
use gpedit.msc to set these policies at the local level, in a domain setting, ask the administrator to update the Group Policy hierarchy.
