Does anyone of you know how to protect this,

With a gun? Or in case that is illegal in your country: a bat?

Please be more specific in your question: Does anyone of you know how to protect this? Do you want to add a copy protection to your program?

I don't know what is a copy protection. Users may change specific file contents but only these...I need to aware anybody that I am the legitimate owner of the code and must treat it like these.I don't want to see,say any publication, which appears my code and another author

Patents are useless, just copyright it.

If you only want to give them away some certain code, then just compile the other code to a library and give them the library, in this way they can't change everything, but only the things which aren't in the library :)
