Make .txt file unreadable / uneditable

Question

I have a program which saves a little .txt file with a highscore in it:

 // Create a file to write to. 
string createHighscore = _higscore + Environment.NewL

Here is a code to make an text file not editable. in the same way you use this technique to make it not readable etc.

string pathfile = @"C:\Users\Public\Documents\Filepath.txt";

if (File.Exists(pathfile))
{
    File.Delete(pathfile);
}
if (!File.Exists(pathfile))
{
    using (FileStream fs = File.Create(pathfile))
    {
        Byte[] info = new UTF8Encoding(true).GetBytes("your text to be written to the file place here");

        FileSecurity fsec = File.GetAccessControl(pathfile);
        fsec.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule("Everyone",
        FileSystemRights.WriteData, AccessControlType.Deny));
        File.SetAccessControl(pathfile, fsec);
    }
}
