So what if its not an actual harddisk. It is still essentially a removable 
disk and you can still copy files to it. Your main concern seems to be that 
it has the wrong icon.  There are a number of ways to do what you want but my 
advice is for you to wait until either your distro or kde takes care of it 
(but dont send in a bug report; its not a bug) 100's of new usb devices come 
out each week and a lot of manufacturers dont even specify the device 
correctly in the first place. When it is fixed you may well find yourself 
with a lightning-bolt icon named Matushitsumiwata Flash memory because it is 
a flash memory device.  
Consider yourself lucky that it automounts and pops up an icon or get one of 
the third-party usb-mount packages that are around and modify its files and 
turn off kde's device watcher .
