I have an SD card on /dev/sde. The command "findmnt -l" does not show anything mounted on /dev/sde*'.

I checked the lock switch on the SD card which is unlocked. After that I want to write an image on the SD card using dd with of=/dev/sde, however I always get: dd: failed to open ‘/dev/sde’: Read-only file system I am using openSUSE 13.1, which is fully updated.
When I mount the SD card, which is mounted as a vfat device, I am also unable to write on the device.

Have you tried writing as root? This will definitely confirm whether it is writeable.
