As far as I know you can always modify what is written in a text area. What you can do, using JavaScript, is write the text from the text area to a page with something like this:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

</script>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="formname">
<textarea name="textareaname" rows="10" cols="60"></textarea>
<input type="button" value="Click Me" onClick=writeText()>
</form>
</body>
</html>

This will show what the user wrote on the page and they can't change it.
