The problem here is that what you want is not supported by Android external
storage:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/data-storage.html#filesExternal
"Files saved to the external storage are world-readable and can be
modified by the user when they enable USB mass storage to transfer files on a
computer."
This is By Design, and contrary to your desire that the file be read-only.
There is no way to make a file on external storage read-only.
If you really want it read-only, don't put it on external storage. Keep it
private to your app (e.g. /data/data/PACKAGE.NAME/files/...), where external
storage doesn't have access.
