Finally i enabled datapicker after making it disable.
Firstly i loaded whole datapicker after that enable it

 $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker({
showOn: "button",
buttonImage: "../images/calendar.gif",
buttonImageOnly: true,
buttonText: "Please Select Date",
onSelect: function() {
    //            $(this).datepicker("option", "dateFormat", "MM d yy")
    $("#_ctl0_MainContent_hdnFromDateTime").val($(this).val());
}

});

 $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker('disable');

Made it disable like this.And after that

  var disabled = $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker("option", "disabled");
    //setter
    $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker("option", "disabled", false);
    $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker({ constrainInput: true });
    $("#_ctl0_MainContent_txtFromDateTime").datepicker("enable");
