In future its best if you post some code to show what you
are attempting.

Meanwhile this works for me:

from Tkinter import *

t = Tk()
f = Frame(t)
f.pack()
T = Text(f, width=100, height=20)
T.pack()

def doit():
  if T['state'] == DISABLED:
     T['state'] = NORMAL
  else: T['state'] = DISABLED

b = Button(f, text='Toggle state', command = doit)
b.pack()

t.mainloop()

HTH,
