Normal back button with unchanged behaviour, add that to your activity:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    super.onBackPressed();
}

To disable the back button:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    // do nothing
}

You can set your dialog as non-cancelable (see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlertDialog.Builder.html, setCancelable(false);) and you can also override onBackPressed() in your activity.

Although, I couldn't tell from your question what do you want to do exactly. Hope it helps!

Dialog.setCancellable(false) should be enough. It is for me.
