How can i prevent my databse objects from being imported?

What kind of objects? Forms, reports and modules, you can convert your MDB
into an MDE, and it won't be possible to import those objects into other
databases.

For tables, queries and macros, you could apply Access User-Level Security
(ULS), but it's not bullet-proof: there are lots of hackers out there who
offer utilities or services to break ULS. (As well, it's been removed in
Access 2007)

Changing the extension isn't how you convert from an MDB to an MDE.

Look under "Tools | Database Utilities" in the menu.

But as I said earlier, you can still import tables from MDE files.

What version of Access? The most common reason is that you're using Access
2002 or Access 2003, and your application is in the default Access 2000 file
format. You need to convert to the newer file format (again, under Tools |
Database Utilities) before you can convert to an MDE.

For other possibilities, check out

If you're saying that too many of the things in that link applied to your
situation, you have no choice but to resolve each problem one by one until
you can create an MDE.
