By "secure" I assume you mean against eavesdropping?
In order to have a truely "secure" communication channel, both sides MUST be
aware that the communication is secure (and hence how to decipher it).
However you could try changing your communication protocol to netbui -
perhaps your ISP has enabled that protocol. Most "sniffers" would ignore
the netbui traffic...

Without control of the SQLServer box your options are pretty limited. You
could write your own encryption (in ASP code and in Stored Procedures -
assuming you are allowed to add stored procedures).....
