you can disable the disable editing of some fields by making them read only using and acf/load_value filter. When dealing with repeater sub fields you should always use the field key.

add_filter('acf/load_field/key=field_56e870552a8c1', 'make_field_readonly');
function make_field_readonly($field) {
  // do not do this if it's the options page
  // if you're using the same field group
  global $post;
  if ((!$post) || !isset($post->ID) || get_post_type($post->ID) != 'your-post-type') {
    return $field;
  }
  $field['readonly'] = 1;
  return $field;
}
