Not quite sure what you're asking. You want to disable a user from editing a text field but also read the value on submitting?
You're right about disabled fields not being submitted. You could work around this in a couple of ways; put the required value in a hidden field with the required name and name the text field something else. Or you could enable the text field and use JavaScript to stop the user from editing the field by continually removing focus from the field when the user tried to select it; but this is a pretty sad hack and has the additionally vulnerability of being useless if the user disables scripting.
I would use the first method myself, can't think of anything else.
