Mutuku,
It is 100% possible to do what you want, your errors can only be due to misconfiguration.
If you get a denied message, then it means that you need to ensure that they can edit that content type.
If you make a field viewable, but not editable, it will then not appear as part of the edit form.
You don't need to give someone super admin rights to edit any node, just the rights to edit that specific node.
If you are missing links for that person to reach the node's edit form, then this is a separate problem, resolved by adding node edit links to the node.tpl.php and/or to the view [Node:edit node link]

@Sebastian...did exactly that
- under "content_permissions module" in the user permissions. But when
users tried to access the node created so as to edit some fields, they got "permission denied error".
- I solved this by checking "administer nodes" under node module"
permissions.
This seems to have "overwiritten" the settings under no 1 above and now users can edit anything they want.
