The read/write sequence that enables writing to the flash may depend on the chip manufacturer. But you won't need any special voltages or circuitry for that; only software is involved. For the 2-megabyte flash Am29LV160D, the shortest writing sequence is 2 or 3 bus operations per byte. To avoid accidental rewriting of the flash, you could of course add a switch to the -WR line.
