I would like to flag a set of fields on a document using Script, by
setting a property of the field to TRUE. I am using IsEncrypted on
another set of fields so I chose IsProtected for this set. How do use
SOURCE, which has no properties and access it as an ITEM so that I can
turn the property to TRUE...

I am hesitant to comment on someone else's programming choices, but I
think you're asking for trouble here. Using properties of objects to
hold your own flags is going to have lots of side effects. The
properties you're using have pre-existing semantics and the flags will
be interpreted in that way.
A better idea is to keep a list of the fields that you want to remember.
LotusScript is very good at processing lists, so you can use them pretty
efficiently with just a few lines of code.

1. How do I control access to a field using LotusScript's entering event
I got a response to this the first time I put this question out which
worked
how it was supposed to work. But I need to be able to "VIEW" this field
from the Reader (ACL) access. If you have any suggestions please let me
know, it doesn't have to be LotusScript!!

It would be easier if you use a hide formula for the fields / table. For
example you could use a lookup and hide the field if the user is not a
member of a specific group or role
EG. In the hide if formula is true tab of the field or text property
