You can use readonly instead of disabled.

 $("#textbox1").attr("readonly", true);

Your code would be

function toggleFields(status){
    if (status==false){
        $("#textbox1").attr("readonly", false);
        $("#textbox2").attr("readonly", false);
        } 
        else {
        $("#textbox1").attr("readonly", true);
        $("#textbox2").attr("readonly", true);
    }       
}
