I don't think you can do this natively in OS X. You can use disk Utility to create an encrypted disk image of a folder. FileVault encrypts the entire system disk. You could lock a file or folder or change it's permissions to grant no access, but I am not aware of a way to place a password on a file or folder. However, I surely could be wrong and there may be third party solutions for this.
