c# readonly DataGridView with one enabled cell

I have readonly datagridview, I need in some specific case enable one cell after doubleclicking row (make readonly=false and make focus on this specific cell in current row (like entering it - the cursor should start to blink).

I have: 

 private void dataGridView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       dataGridView1.Cells[3].ReadOnly = false;
}

But it doesn't work. Why?

dataGridView1 ReadOnly property should be set to false. each row ReadOnly property should be set to true. then you can set the cell ReadOnly to true when required.

//setting each row

    foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dataGridView1.Rows)
                {
                    row.ReadOnly = true;
                }

//setting on cell

    DataGridViewCell cell = dataGridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[3];
    dataGridView1.CurrentCell = cell;
    dataGridView1.CurrentCell.ReadOnly = false;                
    dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);

Try to set the currentcell of the Datagridview and call BeginEdit

 private void dataGridView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    dataGridView1.Cells[3].ReadOnly = false;
    this.dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Cells[3];
    dataGridView1.BeginEdit(true);
}
