You can create a custom list  for this, and set the Field attributes to ReadOnly or ReadOnlyEnforced : msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms437580.aspx . (Depending on your exact needs)

You will have to do that using Visual Studio. Here's an article: Creating List Definitions with Custom List Columns for SharePoint Server 2007 : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee871987(office.12).aspx.

Your 5 columns  are coming  from DB so I assume you don't want them on New/Edit forms. You can enable content type on the list  and set these fields  as hidden. This is how you can achieve it Out-of-box.

SharePoint build in ITEM LEVEL permission comes to mind if you want to assign single permission on itmes. However, as you may know, it is not reliable at all.
I recommend you take a look at SharePoint column  View Permission which allows users to set different permissions on SharePoint list  columns: www.sharepointboost.com/columnpermission.html.
