Is it possible not to be able to move or copy a file that is contained in a flash drive?

It is not.

Files have read, write, and execute permissions. If you disable the move or copy permissions, you are essentially forbidding the read and execute permissions as well. In such a case, there is no point in storing the file on the flash drive.
