How to switch form from readonly True to False in view?

I have a form for an account and I wish to make it ReadOnly and Updatable.

How should I handle the switch from readonly True to False?

I know about this:

self.fields['fieldname'].widget.attrs.update({'class': 'form-control', 'readonly': True})

I hope that there is a way to remove readonly on view so that I won't need to create a separate form.

Or you can also suggest other solution for my concern. Or should I create a separate Form for readonly?

In your html file, say you this form

<form method="post" action="{% url 'some_view' %}">
   <input type="text" value="something" name="field1" readonly>
   <input type="text" value="something1" name="field2" >
   <input type="text" value="something2" name="field3">
   <input type="submit" >
</form>

Now in your views.py, you can read all the three variables using the name of the tag views.py

def func(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        field1 = request.POST['field1']
        field2 = request.POST['field2']
        field3 = request.POST['field3']
        #Do Db update or any other
        return HttpResponse('success')

You can do in the above way
