Romel Apuya answers:
set the attribute to readonly
add this in your header.php
just above the
<?php wp_head(); ?>
<?php
if( bp_is_my_profile()) {
?>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery( document ).ready(function( $ ) {
$( "#field_1" ).prop('readonly', true);
});
/* ]]> */
</script>
<?php
}
?>

Simplest solution would be to just hide the field, it will still submit etc.
display: none;

It is text box, how will i hide it?
And there is not a specific name for the box (field_1) thus I cant use it in css
I didnt understand
Kyle comments:
Is there someway to view the form? There should be a unique name, id, or parent element.
input[name="field_1"] {
display: none;
}
Won't work with IE6 and less though if you have to use the name field

timDesain has a more proper answer, I would go his route.
timDesain Nanang answers:
first: crate bp-custom.php file at /wp-content/plugins/ folder
second: put this code in bp-custom.php file
add_action( 'xprofile_data_before_save', 'disable_name_change' );
function disable_name_change( $data ) {
if ( 1 == $data->field_id )
$data->field_id = false;
return $data;
}

it works but it gives an error even though i try to change another field. It may be confusing for users. Any way to disable this message if i dont try to change the name field?

- put this code in edit.php file
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_profile_edit_content' ); ?>
<?php if ( bp_has_profile( 'profile_group_id=' . bp_get_current_profile_group_id() ) ) :
while ( bp_profile_groups() ) : bp_the_profile_group(); ?>
<?php while ( bp_profile_fields() ) : bp_the_profile_field(); ?>

//display user's profile name
bp_the_profile_field_edit_value();

timDesain Nanang comments:
i mean :
- create folders : buddypress\members\single\profile
timDesain Nanang comments:
if you get error :
simply rename/delete the buddypress folder,
as like rename/delete bp-custom.php file
