You should be able to use the DataGrid.BeginningEdit event to conditionally check if the cell is editable and then set the Cancel property on the event args if not.

You could also use the TemplateSelector property to set two different DataTemplates (one writable and one readonly) based on your logic? Just create a class that inherits from DataTemplateSelector and override the SelectTemplate() method (here you have access to the datacontext).
