Simple answer - DON'T.
A pen drive, a Flash drive, a thumb drive - whatever you call it and regardless of how big or small it may be, it is not a Hard Drive. Moreover it has no moving parts, it is solid state.
Partitioning of a thumb drive can lead to accessibility problems requiring the reversal of what you are attempting to achieve.
Thumb drives work more reliably if you just use a sensible, well designed, directory system.

A lot of USB sticks today comes partitioned as a part of the security, i.e SanDisk.
So it is possible to do it, and I've found a tools called BootIt NG to do it with:

wise guy you can format your pen drive and create partitions, you can even lock a partition with password and there is no performance degradation or any issues during accessing the data...

I formatted one using a GPARTED live CD, discussed above. WIndows does not allow formatting a USB drive; Linux does, and the CD loads Linux with its partition program, GPARTED, into RAM on your computer.
