I am writing a data processing code, in which I create a new file, write processed data in to this file and close. But the file has to be closed in read-only mode, so that it would not be accidentally modified. Can this be done in Python?

For this you use os.chmod
import os
from stat import S_IREAD, S_IRGRP, S_IROTH
filename = "path/to/file"
os.chmod(filename, S_IREAD|S_IRGRP|S_IROTH)
Note that this assumes you have appropriate permissions, and that you want more than just the owner to be able to read the file. Remove S_IROTH and S_IRGRP as appropriate if that's not the case.
UPDATE
If you need to make the file writable again, simply call os.chmod as so:
from stat import S_IWUSR # Need to add this import to the ones above
os.chmod(filename, S_IWUSR|S_IREAD) # This makes the file read/write for the owner
Simply call this before you open the file for writing, then call the first form to make it read-only again after you're done.
