One way is to copy the field Id to your buffer. Delete the field and save the form. Then immediately create a new display-only field with the same name and Paste the field Id. Then save the form.
That should work...just make sure that no-one is using that form when you make the change. If the field is a drop-down menu or radio button and you don't want to re-enter each individual value, copy the field itself and paste it into a new temporary form. This should also preserve the field Id. Delete the field from the original form, save, then Paste the field into the original form, change the field type to display-only and save.
