Yes.  Try putting one of your scripts on a read-only disk image and run
it from the script menu, then.

Then don't store the file.  You either want the changes saved or do
not, so you can decide whether or not to store the changes.

I don't think there's any reliable way to do this.  Another argument
for taking data storage out of the script itself.
