If I'm reading you correctly I'm guessing you need the workflow module. http://drupal.org/project/workflow

EDIT: Actually you will need a couple other modules but I can't remember what, so hopefully someone else posts on here. It's been a while since I've done an article/access site.

thank you for reply,
but i think workflow cannot lock the node after publish this means that no body can edit it except administrator , but in workflow we can not do this , no ?
please help me to do this in workflow or other module(s)

Well it's more than Workflow as I suggested.

If I understand you correctly you want to make it so a an article can be edited by the creator until after it's published and then no longer allow it to be edited by the creator?

Workflow works directly with actions and the actions module which is built in allows you to set conditional statements. So if this node is published disallow editing.

If it was me, I would write a new action (if you can't find it.) You can see there is a default advanced action to change the author of the post but I'm guessing you still want to keep the author the same.

Actions work with the workflow module FYI. This might help:
