General.answer: No, it's not possible.

Limited situation answer: Yes, if 
(a) you're willing to write some RACF exits, and

(b) only want protection from data set creation/deletion and update via normal 
means (JCL, dynamic allocation, OPEN, etc.) via normal users, and 

(c) don't care what your system programmers and/or storage administrators might 
do either with authorities like OPERATIONS or via other means such as ADRDSSU, 
ICKDSF, etc.
