You can try this:

@Html.DropDownListFor(
    x => x.CandidateId,
    Model.CandidatesList,
    new { @disabled = "disabled" }
)

But you can not get the dropdown value in controller after submission. You can use a hidden field for setting the dropdown value.

You'd probably want to look at the override for DropDownListFor which take a dictionary of HTML attributes and perhaps pass something like 'disabled = "true"' through.

    <div class="editor-field">
        @Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CandidateId, Model.CandidatesList, new { disabled = "true" })
    </div>

You use the disabled attribute with values of true and false.

<div class="editor-field">
    @Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CandidateId, Model.CandidatesList, new { disabled = "true" })
</div>

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CandidateId, Model.CandidatesList, 
                       new { @disabled = "disabled" })
