You can use use dependent picklist feature. Your checkbox will be  controlling field. if checkbox is checked you can display all picklist values, on other hand if checkbox is unchecked dont show any value and it will be forced null value.

Hi Sree,

You can write a workflow rule and field update to do this. 

Thank you.

HI Kartik,

I tried to do the same, but couldn't succeed.

when I'm defining a workflow, it is expected to put some criteria on which this workflow should trigger.

So just for the testing purpose, I selected a checkbox of that object and put an equals operator against TRUE.

I'm not very sure whether it will work on not. After that when I'm defining the field update workflow action, I'm not able to disable any field. I can only set it to any perticular value.

Can u please explain how exactly we can do this?

Thanks

Is this a standard page or VF page ??

If this is standard page,

Short answer is NO,you can't,there is an existing Idea for the same which you can promote :-

However,there are workarounds available like (field dependencies,validation rules and different Pagelyouts based on Record Types).Go through the below link to learn more about it :-

If this is VF page,you can always use rendered property to display that field based on another field value.

If this helps,please mark it as best answer to help others :)
