Yes, you can fix (or freeze) some of the weights during the training of a neural network. In fact, this is done in the most common form of transfer learning (which is described here). I don't know exactly how this affects learning in general. In transfer learning, this is definitely beneficial, as we are freezing the weights that are associated with the ...
