I would like to make the email field on the profile page for subscribers read only. They can see their email but not change it. I want only admins to to be able to change users email address.

Although the readonly attribute can be removed using Chrome/Firebug inspector (making the field editable again), much probably the average user will not know this.

<?php
function wpse50730_script_enqueuer(){
    if(current_user_can('subscriber')) {
        echo '<script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
            $(".form-table #email").attr("readonly", true);
        });     
        </script>';
    }
}
add_action('admin_head-profile.php', 'wpse50730_script_enqueuer');
