you cannot restrict the DBA but you can do an audit trail so you get to know what records were modified, even if you apply an explicit deny, the DBA will see the error and will just revoke the deny, so it is not only fruitless but pointless to do so

but if you start doubting your DBA then you are questioning his credibility ...

Fire the DBA, lock down the AD account, and insure your firewall and security software is doing exactly what you intended.

When life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA.

The question is ambiguous. If you mean how can you stop the Database Administrator from modifying data, then see above.

If you mean "how can I restrict the production database so that only the database Administrator can modify data" then give all accounts except the DBA the "deny datawriter" role.
