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.

user vi -x to create the file then you have to provide an encription key (password) to read it..
