I have a grid that is either "readable" or "modifyable". This depends on the buttons a user clicks. If they click "readable", the grid should NOT display Insert, Edit, Delete buttons. If they click "modifyable", the grid SHOULD display the buttons. Is there a way to change the toolbar buttons without recreating the grid?

I never use the built-in grid toolbar, I always create my own full Kendo ToolBar and put it into the grid's toolbar area as a template.

This way, I am in full control of all aspects of the ToolBar and can put whatever I want in it, hide/show/disable/enable buttons as I see fit.

You may also be able to get a reference to the buttons you want to affect via something like

$("#myGrid > .k-grid-toolbar > .k-button.k-grid-add")

and then add/remove display:none or the disabled attribute in response to your readable/modifyable button click.
