Answer 1

You can use gridview templates fields, and you will find more about Using TemplateFields in the GridView Control
You can do something like this

 <asp:TemplateField>
       <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txbType" Text='<%# Eval("fieldName") %>' Enabled="false" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
       </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField> 

In here <%# Eval("fieldName") %> -- fieldName should be the value need to be display from your DB

Answer 2

You have to add TemplateFields to the GridView and bind the TextBoxe(s) into ItemTemplate of each TemplateField column.
