If the OS in in C:\ or HD0 (active partition of master HDD), can you save data in there? Is this what you are asking?

You can save data or install programs anywhere there is enough room. If there is a separate swap partition, which will have a different designation, no never try to save anything in the swapfile partition.

You can encrypt any data you want as long as you have the means to do so. It doesn't have to be on the bootable OS partition, though.

You can also set permissions for users, so only certain people with the correct login can access those files or folders.
