Is there a way to delete source code from a page using jquery (when the document loads, when an event is triggered, etc.)? I’m not thinking of the .remove() or .hide() methods; I’d like to actually delete the code from the page.

No, because the source code is rendered by the web browser, so unless you plan on deleting the code you send to the client (which seems counter-productive) you will not be able to hide the source code.
However, there are steps you can take to obfuscate the code so that it is more difficult for people to read and understand, but for anyone determined this would only be a small set-back and not an actual hindrance.
