Since IE7 and above supports the [attr] selector, you could do what was answered here.

input[disabled]
{
  color: red;
}

Hopefully that helps. I can't test it since I'm on Windows 7 and only have IE10.

You could use jQuery:

$('input[type=text]:disabled').css({
    'color' : 'red'
});

or CSS:

input[type=text]:disabled
{
   color:red
}

I strongly recommand CSS :D
