Hi Naveen,

We can Achieve this by using workflows rules.
First create a new record type as a "Rean only", it has only read only  permission to all profiles .next create workflow on status field.
if  "status" is changed to "Closed" we can update the record type field.

Brahmaiah

Another way is to create a date time field which marks the read only starting date: eg: start_date_read_only__c at account object for example.
then create a validation rule on the record:
for example.
Account.start_date_read_only__c <  now()

thanks
