first 62 ( about ) of the sector 0 can not be erased, which leads to the failure
of writting. Does anyone know why the first 62 bytes are protected. And how to
disable the protection for erasing and writting?

The solution was found, and, some time later, one of us (David & I) had a spare,
split, millisecond; so we'll share the solution for the next folks writing
a self loading secondary bootloader :
Problem = cannot program bottom 64 bytes of internal Flash reliably w/ IAP (or
maybe ISP).
Cause = The first 64 bytes of the LPC-23xx internal flash are remapped,
depending on the MEMMAP register. The (ISP and the) IAP impact the mode of that
register.
See:
LPC23XX User manual Rev. 03 2009 August 25
Chapter 2: LPC23XX memory addressing
Section 5.1 Memory Mapping Control Register (MEMMAP - 0xE01F C040) pg 27 of
707
