You can make it Read Only from the page layout easily or Remove it from the page layout

i think you are making a required field to remove from pagelayout for example Name from Account which is not possible these are the mandatory field .you need to fill value in this case you need to create Custom VF page and in the extension before save manually fill the value after that you can eassily save the record. hope this help

If the particular standard field has the blue dot next to it on the page layout, you cannot remove these or mark read-only. They must be there.
