U can make that field read only.

Well is this field on VF page or a Standard Pagelayout ?

 

So if it is on Custom page

  • You can remove the same from layout
  • Mark it readonly
  • Apply a validation rule so that it gives error when user enters something

If VF page

  • Just mark disabled="true"

If there are no use cases where the user enters value in the text box you can make the field readonly on the Page layout.
If the value is automatically populated, why not use a formula field and calculate the value.

Or you can use the Validation rules and one of the members suggested.
