while right clicking the title bar of the editor there is a menu called New Editor, which if clicked opens a new editor with the same content. I dont want this to happen in my application. Its better if i can avoid the right click menu.
i also need to remove the x close button of the editor or over ride the save dialog prompted when x close is used.

You can't get rid of or remove New Editor or Close from those little
pop-up menus or get rid of the X. That's written in the presentation,
and there are no hooks. You can write your own presentation where you
control tab placement, toolbar placement, if those popup menus are
available, etc, but it can be a lot of work.

If you want to provide a customer "Save" dialog, you can implement the
ISaveablePart2 interface on your editor part.
