Look for the methods setFormFlattening and setPartialFormFlattening.
For instance:
form = stamper.getAcroFields();
form.setField("field1", value1);
form.setField('field2", value2);
stamper.setFormFlattening(true);
stamper.setPartialFormFlattening("field2");
field1 will be editable.
field2 will be read only.
