Interesting question! I'd like to see good and elegant solution for it :) But it seems to me, that django-admin is not suitable for your task. I'd try to play with Forms. Smth like this:

class HmmForm(forms.Form):
    name = forms.CharField(max_length = 128)
    user_id = forms.IntegerField()
    height = forms.IntegerField()
    weight = forms.IntegerField()


def test(request, pk):
    form = HmmForm()
    if pk > 0:
        hmm = Hmm.objects.get(pk = pk)
        form = HmmForm( initial = {"name": hmm.name} )
    return render_to_response("test/test.html", {"form": form})

And then simple render form in template, as you wish:

{{ form.as_table }} or {{ form.as_p }}
