Why not just write

"//*[@id='TEST_0'][disabled='']"

It only starts to be a problem when you need both double and single quotes.

you can do it this way 

"//*[@id='TEST_0'][disabled="\""\"]"

Example : 

System.out.print("\"Hello\"");

This will print: "Hello" in double qoutes

That's actually related to language you are using. Use (\) escape character
