Defeating NMAP scans

Hi everybody,
Is there any way to distinguish the probe packets
sent by NMAP and the normal communication packets..??? Also can we
modify the responses to the nmap probes so that it could not recognise
the remote OS and the services??? By default,NMAP probes the remote
machine by sending some packets in specfic order. Can anybody clue me
the order in which the type of scans that NMAP does ??
