Answer 1

Set the userInteractionEnabled property:
//UITextField *textfield;
textfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO; // TO stop UserInteraction and Yes TO enable User Interaction

Answer 2

do like
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"XXXXX"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
reuseIdentifier:#"SimpleTableCell"];
}
cell.yourTextfield.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
if (indexPath.row == 0) // it disable your interaction in first cell
{
cell.yourTextfield.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
}
return cell;
}
Choice-2
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"XXXXX"];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle
reuseIdentifier:#"SimpleTableCell"];
}
cell.yourTextfield.tag = indexPath.row; // set tag for each textfield
return cell;
}
on that delegate fire disable the interaction
- (BOOL)textFieldShouldBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
BOOL editable;
if (textField.tag == 0) {
editable = NO;
} else if (textField.tag == 1 || textField.tag == 2) {
editable = YES;
}
return editable;
}

You don't need a table view to present three textfields. Basically, tableview's used for present big amount of data.
But you could simply set userInteractionEnabled to NO to prevent changing textfield.
Otherwise, if you still want to use tableview you still can disable user interaction in tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:
