No, you can't. I also suggest @Taranjeet Singh solution.  In addition you should only put it on the view screen so it can't be edited by anyone except through the transition. You will need an additional transition if you want an option to edit the field after the first transition.  JIRA has NO field level security.

@Karim Belhadj I would suggest to rather put this field on a new transition screen (on the relevant transition in the workflow, when this field is required to be input) and then add a condition on this workflow transition that it can be performed by only a specific user group.
