    Run the application as a background service and stop it from getting displayed in the process tab of taks manager.

    As Bipin pointed out, writing a Windows Service which is started when the computer loads should solve your problem to a certain extent. Since services generally do not have UI associated with them, they are not visible as a window and you cannot stop them using Alt+F4. However someone can go to the services manager (%SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc) and stop the service.

    Not very sure about whether or not how you can hide the service from the Task Manager. You can search on the net to find this information.

    To put it simply, there is no absolute way to make a process non-terminatable. You can overcome this to a certain extent but before I go into that, please tell me the exact reason why you want this functionality. In many cases, there are easier and more practical workarounds. So if you could tell me the exact purpose of your application and the scenario in which you would want to implement this feature, you might get a better answer.
