I think no you cant disable it. But why don't you do one thing instead of disabling it when the use close it then pop up a message and stay on the same page.

From the server? No - you don't have access to the browser form window for security reasons.
And to be honest, if it was possible, and I visited a site that did it, I wouldn't ever go back.

He want to force people to use the Log out button and not be able to close the web page when they want to leave ...

Probably, yes - but it won't work. Even if he could disable the "X", I could still:

Press the Back button, then close it.
Close the tab in Chrome / Firefox / IE without closing the browser.
Enter a new URL and go there.
Use a bookmark.
Use CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and terminate the app.

And quite a few other ways.
