If you are using Cygwin, you can use just about any editor that
compiles under cygwin. You can also find win32 ports. I run GNU
Emacs when I have to use windows.

You cannot. If your only goal is to prevent readability you can
set the file permissions to grant no readable access:
chmod -r-w+x script.sh
or you can use a utility like shc that encrypts the file:

But, why do you need unreadability of your scripts? If the only
reason you are trying to prevent readability is because you have
some sort of a 'password' embedded in your script, then you
should seriously think about re-designing your system. Also, note
that, making your code executable doesn't prevent people from
simply running strings on the executable and getting secret
strings, if any.
