If you think about it; Excel acts as an editor of data, among other things, so there is no such thing as pure "readonly" data. However, there is such thing as "locking" and also validation, which can help to reduce at least accidental modifications. This should give you the idea:

If you want to do it programmatically, you still have to find appropriate properties in Excel interop:
