Answer 1

Here is a possible solution:

In addition to your code you should update the datatables data as following

var rowIndex = table.fnGetPosition( $(this).closest('tr')[0] );
var aData = table.fnGetData( rowIndex  );
aData[2] = txt; //third column

Here the jsfiddle

And even better solution would be to use fnUpdate to update the data and display in the same time

Here the jsfiddle

// update column following here... 
var followingCell = $(this).parents('td').prev();
var txt = followingCell.text() == "1" ? "0" : "1";

var rowIndex = table.fnGetPosition( $(this).closest('tr')[0] );
table.fnUpdate( txt, rowIndex , 2);

Also instead of us

var followingCell = $(this).parents('td').prev();
var txt = followingCell.text() == "1" ? "0" : "1";

use

var aData = table.fnGetData( rowIndex  );
aData[2] //use it to check if the value is 0 or 1
