</asp:TemplateField>
 </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

you can do that by adding onRowDataBound event to your grid and write the following code server side

protected void gridView_RowDataBound(object sender,GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{          
 TextBox txtd1= (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("d1");     
 txtd1.Text="your text";
}

You can set Text of textbox after gridview binded. Below code sets text value of textbox

gv.DataSource = list;
gv.DataBind();
((TextBox)gv.HeaderRow.FindControl("d1")).Text = "DEF";
