'Is it necessary to lock a variable when reading it in different threads?

Please tell me if it is necessary to block data in a multithreaded program if :

  1. I want to read the same variable in two threads, but not change it.
  2. I want to ALWAYS read in the first stream, and change in the second. Thank you very much!
