Probably unetbootin[0]. When you say you want to "put ubuntu on a
pendrive", what do you then want to do with that pendrive? There's two
common similar-but-different use-cases:

1) A 'live USB' system. On this system, you can boot off the USB stick
into a working Ubuntu install. When you shut down, you lose any chanegs
you've made and the next time you boot off it you get a new system.

2) A system installed onto the USB stick, such that on boot you get an
option between your existing OS (Windows) and the Ubuntu on the USB
stick.

Unetbootin does option 1, 2 is a bit more tricky, but quite doable if
that's what you're after.
