Try this

((JTextComponent)((Container)((Container)((Container)((Container)getComponent(2)).getComponent(2))).getComponent(2)).getComponent(1)).setEnabled(false);

in constructor of an extension to the JFileChooser class.

It drills down into the component hierarchy of the JFileChooser class
and finds the JTextComponent associated with the File Name. I used jdb
(via Eclipse) to expose these compoents in the Swing classes. Of
course Sun may change the JFileChooser w.r.t. this component hierarchy
in the future, but it works as of JDK 1.6
