You'll only be able to do security through obscurity, since a player can look through and modify the source code.

Yeah, the only way is to encrypt your data. Even simple stuff can make it cheat-proof from inexperienced users, but advanced users can find ways to decrypt anything, even from assembly programs and save files.
