There's no way to do that that I know of. If a person can edit the
file they can edit the comments.

Hi,
Is there any way by which i can make the finder's comment text as non
editable but file should be editable to the user? Because when i locked
the file ( chflags uchg <file Name>) , it is not allowing the user to
edit also.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramakrishna

You can lock the file or change the write permissions on the file.
If the file is locked and/or not writable to a user then the
comments
can't be changed.
You would lock the file by doing:
----
tell application "Finder"
set theComment to "here's a comment"
set comment of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to theComment
set locked of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to true
end tell

You can change the file to read-only permissions with:
----
tell application "Finder"
set theComment to "here's a comment"
set comment of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to theComment
set owner privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to
read
only
set group privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh" to
read
only
set everyones privileges of file "Users:usr1:Desktop:test.sh"
to
read only
end tell

Since they're already using Cocoa, chmod(2) and chflags(2) would
probably be more appropriate. Faster, certainly. (Use the uchg flag
for locking the file.)
True, I was just relaying the AppleScript way since it was posted to
an
AppleScript list.
