I would venture a guess that if there is a way for an ordinary Android application to change file attributes (+ hidden), then there is a way to reverse it.

All applications are on equal ground, except those signed with the platform key, and the OP most likely is not talking about those.

Right.  So part of the question is whether the OP wants the file
protected/hidden on the phone or when viewed with a PC.  (And a
rhetorical question:  Does viewing the SD from a PC while plugged into
the phone function the same as viewing the SD while plugged directly
into a PC?)

You can set FAT files "hidden", but I don't know if Android has an
interface to do it.
You can use the Linux dot-prefix trick, but that's not particularly
hidden. Besides, the SD card can be removed and put on other devices,
where the dot-prefix trick does not hold.

AFAIK, Linux does not honor the FAT32 hidden bit.
