I'm a little late to this question considering it was asked almost 2 years ago :)

I made a solution to dynamically be able to push read-only dependency properties to the source called PushBinding which I blogged about here. In your case it would look like this

PushBinding works by using two Dependency Properties, Listener and Mirror. Listener is bound OneWay to the TargetProperty and in the PropertyChangedCallback it updates the Mirror property which is bound OneWayToSource to whatever was specified in the Binding.

It contains source code and short sample usage, or visit my WPF blog if you're interested in the implementation details.
