Why? Is it really a problem?

Instead of changing file format, you may consider encryption (see, for instance, here at CodeProject the article: "Simple encrypting and decrypting data in C#"[^]) for protecting your data.

This is a possible thing to do, my 5, but I suspect OP means something way more simple...
Please see my answer; I think that is it.

I would recommend just to ignore this problem. What's so bad about it? If all you want is to be able to open your files created by your program only by your program, do a simple thing: use different type naming; for example, use file "extension" (there are no true file extensions anymore, thanks goodness, so this is just the end of file names), such as ".myApplication" (pick a sensible string of course, but starting with dot '.'). Register this as a new "file type" to be opened with your application. After you do this, the Shell will open files named in this way with your application by default.

Anyone who knows how to use Windows can do it manually, and there are enough instructions on how to do it programmatically in many Web sites, including CodeProject.
