Do you own it (I assume you do)?

chmod 700 /path/to/myscript

Of course, root can still read it.

Cheers

Use chmod command to remove the read permission (or all permissions, whatever appropriate) of files and directories for particular users/groups.
There is no seperate hide functionality in *NIX

Consider encrypting the files if you want them to be meaningless for other users.
