Delete or comment out the entry for the cdrom in /etc/fstab, it then wont be mountable and since the file's owned by root, normal users won't be able to modify it.

As Steve says....or, for convenience, keep the entry in /etc/fstab but make it mountable by root only :
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro
by removing the 'user' from the line, you will effectivly dissable the drive for all users except root.
