You can use the Directory.SetAccessControl().

Example:

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\my\directory");
DirectorySecurity security = directory.GetAccessControl();

security.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(@"MYDOMAIN\JohnDoe", 
                        FileSystemRights.Modify, 
                        AccessControlType.Deny));

directory.SetAccessControl(security);
