No. Adding some security is more involved than just changing permissions.
The standard installation does not provide any security. Anyone can find the generator and create new forms or delete what you have created.
1.)Create your form.
2.)Take the form directory (where process.php is) and all subdirectories and files below this level. Move it to another location that is not below the generator install directory.
3.)Add an index.html file to the directory where your process.php file is.
4.)Change permissions of all php files to 755.
5.)Change permissions of all html, pictures, and graphics to 644.
6.)Change the admin directory such that you need a password to access it (add .htaccess file).
This should cover you for almost all security issues. Note that your form has a new URL. If you have added the URL to any web pages you will need to update the URL to the new form location.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You can delete the whole phpgenerator installation as long as you have successfully copied your form to another location.
You can password protect the installation directories if you prefer to keep it around for some time.

If I change process.php and global.inc.php fiels to file permissions 644, will this provide some security?

You can delete the whole phpgenerator installation as long as you have successfully copied your form to another location.
