For a start I suggest you use a much more modern device, the 16F84A was replaced by the 16F628 last century!.

To protect your work simply set the protection bits in the configuration fuses, there's no simple or cheap way to overcome it.

You know, there is a wealth of free information available online in the datasheet. Do you have a copy? If you have a copy, can you be bothered to spend some time reading it?

quick and somewhat easy security FUSE reset(less than 50.00) for PIC:

ie security fuses and similiar only protect content against the honest or stupid.
