Answer 1

public class MyDefaultTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
    private boolean[][] editable_cells; // 2d array to represent rows and columns

    private MyDefaultTableModel(int rows, int cols) { // constructor
        super(rows, cols);
        this.editable_cells = new boolean[rows][cols];
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) { // custom isCellEditable function
        return this.editable_cells[row][column];
    }

    public void setCellEditable(int row, int col, boolean value) {
        this.editable_cells[row][col] = value; // set cell true/false
        this.fireTableCellUpdated(row, col);
    }
}

other class

... stuff
DefaultTableModel myModel = new MyDefaultTableModel(x, y); 
table.setModel(myModel);
... stuff

You can then set the values dynamically by using the myModel variable you have stored and calling the setCellEditable() function on it.. in theory. I have not tested this code but it should work. You may still have to fire some sort of event to trigger the table to notice the changes.
