You need to set CUrrentCell first, then call BeginEdit by passing true as parameter to put the current cell in edit mode and select all the cell's contents. For example:

this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell = this.dataGridView1.Rows[2].Cells[0];
this.dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);

Note: For example if you want to find the first cell in DataGridView based on some value and select the cell and begin editing you can use such code:

var cell = dataGridView1.Rows.Cast<DataGridViewRow>()
                .SelectMany(x => x.Cells.Cast<DataGridViewCell>())
                .Where(x => string.Format("{0}", x.FormattedValue) == textBox1.Text)
                .FirstOrDefault();
if (cell != null)
{
    this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell = cell;
    this.dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);
}
