How can I format an USB flash drive using cocoa frameworks or carbon? Is there any functions to make it?

You could use diskutil via NSTask. You may have to authorize the task.

1. Open Terminal in Mac

2. Get list of disk using below command

   $ diskutil list

3. Note the name of your USB drive and enter below command

   $ sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 DISK2 MBRFormat /dev/disk2

Note : Need to enter disk name only in capital letters after FAT32 (mine is DISK2)
