Format->Option Inspector

With the scope set to 'selection', look under Cell Options->General 
Properties.  With the cell (or cells) you want to make undeletable, change 
Deletable->False, then Editable->False.  Note that you have to do it in 
this order, as once you set Editable->False on a cell, you can't make any 
other changes to it until you set Editable->True again.
