The way that I do it is extend JTable and override editCellAt:

public boolean editCellAt(int row, int column, java.util.EventObject e){
         if (isEnabled())
           return super.editCellAt(row,column,e);
         else
           return false;
       }

or you can muck with the isCellEditable method in your model, perhaps by
adding a setEnabled method to the model and checking its value.
