Create a new user group and assign permissions/restrictions to shares as
desired. Add users to the new group.

Unfortunately, one of the limitations of the Windows permissions system is that
any user can modify (including deleting or renaming) any file they created. The
best you can do is to make it difficult to do it accidentally.

Assuming you are using Windows XP professional, you can set permissions on a
folder by right-clicking the folder and selecting Properties. Go to the
Security tab and press Advanced.

Click Add. Select the group you want to be able to add files and press OK.
Under "Apply onto" select "This folder only". Select the tickbox "Create Files
/ Write Data". Press OK.

Click Add. Select the group you want to be able to edit files and press OK.
Under "Apply onto" select "Files only". Select the tickbox "Create Files /
Write Data" and "Create Folders / Append Data". You probably also want "Write
Attributes" and "Write Extended Attributes". Press OK.

This assumes that the permissions on the parent folder allows the users in
question to read files but not write them. If this isn't the case, you may have
to turn off "Inherit from parent". Click "Remove". Click "OK" to dismiss the
Advanced dialog.

Click Add. Enter Administrators. (You may have to select the local computer
from Locations.) Press OK. Select "Full control". Press Apply.

Click Add. Enter the name of the group you want to be able to read files.
Press OK. Select "Read & Execute" (this will turn on "List Folder Contents" and
"Read" automatically). Press OK.

I tested this and it looks 100% correct.
