you can either use jquery to disable your checkbox using

$('#flag').attr('disabled', true);

or if you want to do it on server side you have to fall back to checkboxfor helper like

<%:Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.flag, new { disabled = "disabled" }) %>

or you can write your own editor template that can consume additionalViewData parameter of Html.EditorFor

the first option requires Javascript. The second option is the better way to go.
