I know this is an extremely old topic and I’m assuming that you’ve either found a solution or moved on. I just thought I’d post my thoughts for others that happen on this topic looking for a similar solution.

I would create a true/false field following each question and I would create an acf/load_field filter that would set the readonly and disabled attibutes of the fields depending on the status of the user.

All of the code is not here, this is just a rough outline.

add_filter('acf/load_field/type=true_false', 'acf_disable_readonly');
function acf_disable_readonly($field) {
  $key = $field['key'];
  $name = $field['name'];
  // check wither the key or name against
  // a list of fields that you want to change
  if (!$one_of_your_fieldd) {
    return $field;
  }
  // then get the current user information
  // and test this against who should be able
  // to modify it
  if (!$allowed_to_modify) {
    $field['readonly'] = 1;
    $field['disabled'] = 1;
    // as a bonus, hide the field using
    // conditional logic that can never be true
    $field['conditional_logic'] = array(
      array(
        // add two possible values that can never happen at the same time
        array(
          'field' => 'field_doesnotexist',
                         // or any field key
                         // i'm not sure what will happen
                         // if the field does not exist
          'operator' => '==',
          'value' => 0
        ),
        array(
          'field' => 'field_doesnotexist',
                         // or any field key
                         // i'm not sure what will happen
                         // if the field does not exist
          'operator' => '==',
          'value' => 1
        )
      )
    ); // end conditional logic
  }
  return $field;
}
