The only way to prevent scratches and skuffs on a latex surface is to be carefull what you set on it or put against it. Consider using a lower gloss paint rather than a high gloss as marks on high gloss stand out more.

If you want to prevent scratches on a horizontal surface, place glass or a sheet of plastic over it. However, you'll need small pads on the corners so that the air can circulate between the table and the glass. Otherwise, the paint may stick.

Can you use oil base polyurethane over latex paint?

Yes, you can use latex paint over poly but you have a few steps to do before you can apply it. First, whether the poly is oil or water based, you'll want to sand it to give it a tooth (something to grab onto). Make sure to wear a mask and goggles. Next, prime the surface you want to paint. You can fill any hole or fix imperfections over the primer but you'll have to prime those areas again if you do. After you're priming is done, you can roll out your paint. Quick note: if the poly is oil-based, I would use an oil based primer (Zinsser"s bin 1-2-3 oderless oil primer, white can with yellow flag on it). You can roll latex over this primer.
