There is no file-system level security on the phone. All you can do is to set a hidden or readonly attribute, but any other application can undo those and still delete the file.

With Symbian 9 based devices there is a new concept called datacaging where one application's files are protected from access from other apps (in phone memory; if they are on a memory card, anyone could read the card contents in a PC, for example).
