to make any file undeletable remove write permission to it. If you can't use .htaccess it's because the server admin doesn't thrust you to use it's possibility he probably won't give you another way to use it.

It depends upon the server that you are running. If it is on FreeBSD, then you can set the file flag for it.
chflags uappnd filename (the file can be added to but not deleted)
chflags uunlnk filename (the file cannot be deleted)
Either root or the file owner can set these flags and remove them depending on which SecureLevel you are running.

chmod 440 .htaccessbut even that will let you change the permission back the only way would be to give ownership to somebody else then you.
by the way could i ask why you would want to do that?
