I agree with @Matt B's solution, but I have to add the following:
<ul><li>
Instead of wizard based tabular form I would advice you start with manual tabular form(which is an interactive/classic report) using [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_item.htm#CACEEEJE]APEX_ITEM as you have to deal with checksum errors and MRU/MRD(DML) processes that comes with the wizard.
</li>
<li>Instead of MRU processes you can use the AJAX based manual PL/SQL processes to perform DML operations on enabled row.
Refer: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/hol08/apexweb20/ajax_otn.htm
</li>
<li>Instead setting the element properties as disabled you can set it as readonly.</li></ul>
Here are few references how can you do it on a cell level instead of row level.

This solution first gets the table data in APEX_COLLECTION and the updateable interactive report is based on the [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35127/apex_collection.htm#CACFAICJ]APEX_COLLECTION:
