Is there a way to prevent users from getting into SQL Server Management Studio so that they can’t just edit table rows manually? They still need to access the tables by running my application.

You DO NOT need to worry about them having access to the tool. Simply make sure they do not know any of the SQL logins for the specific Databases that have read/write permissions, if they do, change the password. If they have access to the DB via Windows Authentication, make sure that they are in a datareader role. You can use roles to manage what the users can do in SQL.
