Yes, they are impermanent. Due to quantum tunneling effects, they
emit "Hawking radiation" (deduced by Stephen Hawking) and so,

However, it is questionable if protons decay. If they don't, then
they will last beyond time, if such a concept is <ahem>
conceivable.

Googling "proton decay" brought up some very interesting web
sites, starting with:
