You will need to

* Remove their permission to edit the issue (stops them editing all fields
* Remove the description field from the edit screen (stops everyone from editing the field)
* Do #2 above and add the "edit description field" as a workflow transition so that some people can edit it
* Install Scriptrunner's Behaviours and use that to make the field non-editable in the UI
