The software may be using the term "code proteced" for all the various
code/data protection mechanisms.  These are all set in the config word.
Change the config bits to turn off all code/data protection and you should
be able to read the EEPROM data back with your programmer.

No, you can't read it.  Code protection is meant to keep someone from
copying your product.  If everything is protected, then you can only write
a new program into the chip be first bulk erasing it.
