How to make a column non-editable in Kendu UI Grid With Row template?

Question

http://jsfiddle.net/valchev/s7ZCV/15/, the above link is the simple example of Kendo grid with row template.All I wanted to do is make a specific column non-editable. the usual way is just define a model and further inside fields add editable False to the required field. i just wanted to know is there any other way to make a column editable as false because i dont want to add one more model in kendo as I am using models in entity level and Jay-data Level.

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({ data: records, schema: { model: { id: "foo", fields: { foo: {type: "number"}, CostCategoryAbv: {type: "string",editable:false}, // i dont want this VendorName: {type: "string"} } }
} });

I've been doing a lot of work with the Kendo Grid using MVC. I've been getting around this by using a custom popup editor. The editor only allows the user to modify the fields that I want them to. Another way of getting around this is by changing the controller so that any user edit does not modify the field when the data source is updated. I know that the code provided is not using C# or MVC, but I hope this helps. I think you may be able to modify the save method so that it only saves select fields.
