Either:
- create a DDL trigger to check if an alter user is done and forbid it
- create a password verification function that returns always FALSE and associate it to the user profile.

Each underlined word can be searched in Oracle documentation: http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/db102.federated_search

I'm curious as to why you don't want to let a user change their password?

That's a good question.
We, unlike the OP, force our users to change their password at least every 2 months.
But there are some (bad) softwares that require hard coded passwords in configuration files and don't support we change them.
