You can use view for this purpose because you can set view as read only.

you can select the table for updation

for eg: select * from emp for update;

no you can do the update/insert anything you want...

any other user or session would be able to do any insert/update to the same table only after you release the table by commit or rollback.....

Specify READ ONLY to put the table in read-only mode. When the table is in READ ONLY mode, you cannot issue any DML statements that affect the table or any SELECT ... FOR UPDATE statements. You can issue DDL statements as long as they do not modify any table data. Operations on indexes associated with the table are allowed when the table is in READ ONLY mode.
Specify READ WRITE to return a read-only table to read/write mode.

Read only:
ALTER TABLE SALES READ ONLY;

Back to read/write:
ALTER TABLE SALES READ WRITE;

There are couple of ways
1) If there are user other than owner accessing this table then you can "grant select on TABLE_NAME"
2) Otherwise you DBA can create a role which will have only the privillege to only create table and assign this role to the user then even the owner of the table cannot manipulate the table data.
