For ex: In Account Tab, i want to make a Phone Field as ReadOnly in GUI. when we click on Edit on an Account, in that I want to disable that textbox related to Phone field. How can i do this.

Go to set up->Customize->Account->PageLayout and set the field as read only .

Not sure i fi have understood correctly. You can set the field only in pagelayout which renders the field in GUI as readonly.
 
If the requirement is to not to edit the existing value in the phone field in an account , u can use a validation rule on that field
with the ISCHANGED function and throw an error message.
