might not be the nicest way, but how about adding a additional field in 
TCA displaying the result from a userFunc which is returning the 
"readOnly" part?

Another way might be to use the tceforms 'getMainFieldsClass' hook and 
modify the field settings right there. I used this hook once to provide 
a different flexform for extension configuration to editors, as there is 
no way to exclude fields from flexforms yet, right? But that's a 
different story.
