Use the readonly attribute if you want to make a textfield readable only.
An example:
<input type="text"value="foo"readonly>
From your code
<label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">First Name:</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="span4" id="inputEmail" name="firstname" value="<?php echo $row['firstname']; ?>" placeholder="First Name"readonly>
<input type="hidden" id="inputEmail" name="id" value="<?php echo $get_id; ?>" placeholder="First Name" readonly>

If you want to make inputEmail a readonly field, you can use
<label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">First Name:</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="span4" id="inputEmail" name="firstname" value="<?php echo $row['firstname']; ?>" placeholder="First Name" required readonly>
<input type="hidden" id="inputEmail" name="id" value="<?php echo $get_id; ?>" placeholder="First Name" required>
Note that I've added the readonly at the end of the input tag in line 3.
