Hello,

I am not sure about your requirement and I suppose you want to keep the RadGrid first row in edit mode.If so you can try the following code snippet in the PreRender Event..
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      GridDataItem item = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items[0];//accessing the first row in Grid
      item.Edit = true;
      RadGrid1.Rebind();
  }

Also refer the following help article which shows how to access the cells and Rows.
Accessing cells and rows
Thanks,
Shinu.

Hello,

GridBoundColumn supports editing of its data and provides, by default, GridTextBoxColumnEditor as a column editor to allow editing the text for each cell when clicking edit button. And Initially, the Grid GridEditCommandColumn displays only an Edit button.When the user presses the edit button, if the table view is configured for in-line editing, the Update and Cancel buttons appear in place of the edit button and the cells on the row become editable. Sample code is given below.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid2" AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
    <MasterTableView EditMode="InPlace">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
            </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="FirstName" HeaderText="FirstName" UniqueName="FirstName">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="total" HeaderText="total" UniqueName="total">
            </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

For more information on column types go through the following documentation.
