If you don't tell me what exactly you are doing, I cannot tell you what
you are doing wrong.
Anyway, a minute of googling suggests that parted cannot be used to do
what you want, I was wrong about that. But the Ubuntu formums have a
fairly extensive howto about topic:

If your filesystem is not system-essential you do not need to boot off a
live CD/DVD. And I would skip the step that involves creating a dummy
partition that gets overwritten with random data.
