Following code will disable those options:

You have to subclass the UITextField and try to use this code to disable/hide caret and input (copy/paste)

override func caretRectForPosition(position: UITextPosition!) -> CGRect {
            return CGRect.zeroRect
        }

    override func selectionRectsForRange(range: UITextRange) -> [AnyObject] {
        return []
    }

    override func canPerformAction(action: Selector, withSender sender: AnyObject?) -> Bool {
        // Disable copy, select all, paste
        if action == Selector("copy:") || action == Selector("selectAll:") || action == Selector("paste:") {
            return false
        }
        // Default
        return super.canPerformAction(action, withSender: sender)
    }
