You can set the field as Read Only on page layout.

[SalesForce] How to make field as read-only using js/jquery

As you say, setting the html input to be disabled stops the value being returned to the page. This isn't Force.com behaviour as such, but HTML / browser behaviour. There is another attribute readonly that you can set true which should mean the field can't be edited but the value of the field is sent back to the server.

You can set this attribute as a pass-through on a field in VisualForce like:

<apex:inputText value="{!Account.Name}" html-readonly="true" />

Two ways you can do that.

Option 1) Create a separate recordtype and page layout and update the recordtype based on the checkbox value selection. Need to write a workflow field update to update recordtype based on checkbox value. In the page layout you can make the field as read only.

Note: Salesforce provided mandatory fields cannot be readonly. Like status field in Case object.

Option 2) create a validation rule to restrict editing when checkbox value is true
