    In a query window you would:

    ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET READ_ONLY;
    

    And to revert:

    ALTER DATABASE <dbname> SET READ_WRITE;
    

    If you really want to do this with the GUI, right-click the database, select properties, move to the Options tab, and scroll down to the State section. There you can select Database Read-Only and set that to True or False.
