Disks can do this. I presume you know how to use Disks to format the
stick and create a new FAT 32 partition, since that's pretty
straightforward. To make the partition bootable, highlight the
partition, select Edit Partition from the little gear menu at the
bottom, then check Bootable.

Or you could use Disks to create the bootable live USB stick without
messing with any of this: just open the gear menu and click Restore Disk
Image. You can also right click on the file in Nautilus and select Open
With -> Disk Image Writer, which takes you to the same place (and the
only thing you have to do is select the stick from the dropdown menu;
couldn't be easier).
