If you're using "incell" edit mode, the grid has an "edit" event you could use to immediately close the cell.

$("#grid").kendoGrid({

  ...

  edit: function(e) {
      if ( ... ) {
          this.closeCell();
      }
  }

  ...

});

A more powerful approach would be to subclass the kendoGrid and override the editCell and/or editRow methods. Then you can do whatever you want. Look here for info on subclassing kendo widgets.
