For a non-jailbroken device the only workable method that I am aware of is to fill the storage of the device to the point where there is not enough space remaining to download a firmware update, about 300MB.

But even that is not a guaranteed solution. Amazon has been working on the ability to perform incremental firmware updates, downloading only the files changed since the last release. Those would be too small to be blockable while leaving enough room for the device to function properly.
