There are many ways to do this:

o Toggle the AutoSpellCheck button in the Standard toolbar. Or remove 
the tick from Tools | Options... | Language Settings | Writing Aids | 
Options | Check spelling as you type.

o If your text is in a language for which you have no spelling 
dictionary, you can set the text language appropriately and the 
relevant text will then not be checked for spelling.

o You can set the language of your text - or parts of it - to "None 
(Do not check spelling)".

Note that text language can be set in various ways: as a character 
property, a character style property, or a paragraph style property 
(but not a paragraph property, although an entire paragraph can be 
given a language setting using the character property, of course). 
The default language applies only in the absence of any of these settings.

Once you have saved your document, you can set the file as read-only 
outside LibreOffice. But note that this setting is an operating 
system property, so it will not survive your sending the file to a 
correspondent, for example.

But if you put your text into a "section" (using Insert | 
Section...), you can protect that with a password, which prevents the 
text being modified. There is no reason why all of a document's text 
should not be in a section or series of sections.

Mind you, if you want others to see the document without the 
possibility of modification, why not export it as PDF anyway?

I trust this helps.
