Doesn't seem a good idea, as lighttpd does not support .htaccess files, 
and there's one in data/ that deny access in it.

Now I can get your http://server/owncloud/data/owncloud.db file and 
browse and get files from /owncloud/data/user/.

You'll need at least something like this in your lighttpd config file:

server.modules += ( "mod_auth" )
auth.backend = "htpasswd"
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/lighttpd/htpasswd"
auth.require = ( "/owncloud/data/" => (
                  "method"   => "basic",
                  "realm"    => "private - owncloud data",
                  "require"  => "user=nousershouldaccessthis"
                  )
                )
