I have a database which i have replicated using merge replication,how can i enable only the publisher to replicate(download) the data to the subscribers and block any data changes that occur at the subscriber from replcating back to the publisher?

Change your replication to Transactional replication, this does the job for you.

Transactional is only one way as long as you do not choose updateable.

By the way how comes i can't use Merge Replication for a one way replication? the options in the articles properties window like "Download only to suscriber,allow subscriber changes" do not work because any chages i make on the subscriber database are still replicated on the publisher
