The problem is that PostgreSQL doesn't have a "read only" mode. So you can't really do it this way. Is there a way to make a RAMDISK on Win32? If so, Tom Lane's suggestion is probably the best one. Set up a RAMDISK, put your data directory there, and presto. Of course, that means you need enough physical memory to hold the database, which might cause problems. What about using the CD-ROM to copy a version of the database onto the hard drive? You could delete it when your application shuts down, I guess; you'd still need that much free space for your db, though.
