Answer 1

One possible solution would be to write a script that you check in with the rest of your code and which is run as the first step of your build process.

This script runs through your copy of the codebase and sets read permissions on certain files.

Ideally the script would read the list of files from a simple input file. This would make it easy to maintain and easy for other developers to understand which files get marked as read-only.
