You can update some settings (like the number of replicas) but not analyzer nor number of shards. and add new mappings but not modify an existing one. So you can add a new field or a new type on an existing field.

If you want to add enable: false on a new object never used in your mapping before you can:

PUT test/_mapping
{
  "properties": {
    "meta-datas": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}

But if you want to "disable" an existing object, you'll have to create a new index, prepare your mapping, reindex in this new index, then delete the first one.
