you can use readonly attribute for quantity input field like below .It will not let user to chnage the qty.

        <input readonly = "readonly" type="text" name="qty" id="qty" maxlength="12" value="<?php echo $this->getProductDefaultQty() * 1 ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Qty') ?>" class="input-text qty" />

hope this will solve your problem. Thanks
