Not inexpensively. And furthermore you really should figure that loading enough crap onto the e-book to prevent a few people from copying and/or printing is probably going to so reduce e-book sales as to eliminate profits. A better strategy is to set a fair price (around $5-$7 for a novel, $12-$16 for basic non-ficiton, and between $25-$25 for technical non-fiction) and promote the heck out of it. Sure, you won't get rich from each copy sold, but you'll sell more copies without DRM, and the word-of-mouth when people discover you're not actively trying to make it hard to read your work will help.
