Answer 1

To disable the automatic edition mode try this :

table.putClientProperty("JTable.autoStartsEdit", Boolean.FALSE);

Answer 2

The DefaultCellEditor for many JTable cell types delegates to a JTextField, which binds the Delete key to the delete-next action. To preempt the default behavior, you'll have to remove the existing binding from DefaultCellEditor, as shown in How to Use Key Bindings: How to Make and Remove Key Bindings. You can replace it with your own binding, as shown in this example; a typical DefaultCellEditor is shown here.

Try This:

 MyTableModel mymodel=(MyTableModel)table.getModel();
                int rowcount= mymodel.getRowCount();
                for(int i = 0;i<rowcount;i++){
                    mymodel.removeRow(0);
                }
