That's like trying to run a car on gasoline that's not really in
the tank.
No can do.

There are two ways to come close, though.

The second-best way is to obfuscate the HTML. Make it so ugly
and garbled that noone can reverse-engineer it.

The other is to have like a Javascript routine that dynamically
loads content. When they view source, they'll just see the JS
routine. The downside is that they can just look at what the JS
downloaded - but at least it won't be as simple as just view-source.

You can up the obfuscation on that by having the JS appear to
load several different files, making it difficult for the
cracker to know which file was displayed.
