not a single word but

written in stone (or carved in stone/engraved in stone)

Fig. permanent or not subject to change. (Often in the negative.) Now, this isn't carved in stone yet, but this looks like the way it's going to be. Is this policy carved in stone, or can it still be modified? - The Free Dictionary

Like the definition says - it is usually used in the negative, but you can use it the other way for emphasis as well.
