Im new to emacs and I want to be able to prevent the cursor from being
within any sections of read-only text. How would one go about doing
this?

I do not quite understand the question. How do you have a file where
some text is read-only and some is writeable? On all file systems that
I know, writeability is on a per-file basis.

As example, Emacs customizations buffers can have read-only and
writeable text, but I don't think poorlyOiledMachina mean this because
movement here is supereasy with the TAB key.
