Yes you can do this with a plugin. Use the one here: http://blog.devgeeks.org/post/92139782094/the-privacy-screen-plugin-for-cordova-phonegap

Note however, there is no completely fool proof way of stopping people from capturing what you display. They can always point another camera at the phone for example, or if they root the phone they can bypass the security.
