I put code in the RowDataBound event to enable the checkbox:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.GridView2.RowDataBound += GridView2_RowDataBound;

    BindGrid();
}

void GridView2_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.Cells[0].GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCell))
    {
        TableCell tc = e.Row.Cells[0];
        if (tc.Controls.Count > 0)
        {
            CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)tc.Controls[0];
            if (!(cb == null))
            {
                cb.Enabled = true;
            }
        }
    }
}


private void BindGrid()
{
    DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
    dTable.Columns.Add("c1", typeof(bool));
    DataRow r = dTable.NewRow();
    r[0] = false;
    dTable.Rows.Add(r);
    r = dTable.NewRow();
    r[0] = true;
    dTable.Rows.Add(r);

    //CheckBoxField chkField = new CheckBoxField();
    //chkField.DataField = "c1";
    //chkField.HeaderText = "CheckBox";
    //chkField.ReadOnly = false;
    //GridView1.Columns.Add(chkField);
    GridView2.DataSource = dTable;
    GridView2.DataBind();
}

}
