Answer 1

You can do this using css. Add a css class to all controls in the page.

A question similar to your question. This may help you.

Answer 2

I assume you want controls to be disabled except buttons

foreach(WebControl c in Page.Controls)
{
    if(c is TextBox || c is DropdownList)
    {
        c.Enabled = false;
    }
 }

This does not stop user from changing the behaviour of the rendered controls from the page. It should still be possible for user to inspect element and modify the properties.

You need to check from codebehind to ignore values from controls that you don't want edited.
