I need the ability to grey out fields with non editable permission i.e. to show certain field values to the user but forbid him/her to edit them, upon node editing.
How can i achieve this?

You mean readonly field ? – Bala May 13 '13 at 8:01

Are you using D7 or D6 ? – Bala May 13 '13 at 8:04

Exactly. Field permissions give the ability to leave unchecked the "edit own field" permission but this results to hiding the field. I want that field to be readonly as a reminder for the user. Using D7... – Billy May 13 '13 at 8:07

Form elements have a disabled property you can set as a boolean. For example:
$form['test'] = array(
'#type' => 'text',
'#title' => t('Test'),
'#required' => FALSE,
'#default_value' => 0,
'#disabled' => TRUE,
);
Now, you can use hook_form_alter() to check that you're on the right form ($form_id), and any other conditions you require, like for instance checking user permissions, with the user_access() function.

I think the fastest way to achieve what You want is to use jQuery in Your template or custom module:
$("#fieldName").prop("readonly",true);
