If you want to prevent people from committing changes to a file, you can do that by writing an appropriate pre-commit hook. You can't prevent people from changing files in their own working copies, but you can at least prevent those changes from getting committed into the repository.

There is no option for this to happen, though it has been requested before:

http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=525

There is also the request to allow the text-base to be stored compressed, which would also help a lot with disk space on the client side:
