You cannot. A webpage by definition lives in the users computer, and one way or another they can save it. You can't even prevent the easiest way to save it, which is to simply use the web browsers "Save as" menu item.

Can you show me an example? I think you are getting confused with websites that disable right clicking with the mouse, and even that is trivial to circumvent.
