Service Entrance Protection
House across the street has a shared driveway with the SE cable
running along the driveway about 2 ft. above grade about 15 ft. long This cable is not protected with anything but the plastic insulation. Without disconnecting the service to encase it in rigid conduit, is there anyway this elderly couple can get suitable protection without too much expense.

Not really. Depending on where in NY you are most likely a licensed electrician will have to do the work. It is a matter of removing the cable and replacing it with conduit and wire.
Likely to cost several hundred dollars.
Another option is to sink 3" or 4" galvanized conduit, +/- 3' high, filled with concrete as barrier posts to protect the area. This might be something you can do for them yourself.
I would not cut any corners here and look for an easy solution.
