Hi ismail,

There are many ways to achieve the following requirement.

You can assign a profile to those users which includes Customize Application Permission = False.
Restrict Picklist fields to edit using Roles/Profiles.
Using validation rules.

Please mark it as solved if it helps........

Best Regards,
