Is there a way to limit write access to a filesystem based on the executable?

I would like to reasonably ensure that only a specific executable has write access to a filesystem (anything else is just read access).
I do not need this to be secure (in the sense this is not a security feature to protect access by malicious entities), this is rather a safety net for some data (which are brought in by a single executable and otherwise open for read).
Does such a mechanism exist?

I am not sure about what you are asking but how about: Mount the filesystem with a specific user that has write access and read access for group and other. Set the executable to that user.
