You can use CellBeginEdit event and set e.Cancel = True when you need disable the cell.

Private Sub DataGridView_CellBeginEdit(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles DataGridViewMsg.CellBeginEdit
    If DataGridViewMsg.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("disable").Value = "Y" Then
        e.Cancel = True
    End If
End Sub
