Basically I want to know if you can prevent the player from picking something up. I have this object that I want to be static, but isn't normally. Thanks.

You should be able to achieve this by attaching the defaultBlockActivation script to the item. If you want the item to also never move regardless of any forces applied to it (shouts/spells/running into it) you would also want the defaultDisableHavokOnLoad.

It's pretty easy (although somewhat tedious) to extract the object's mesh and just make a new static using it
