Yes.

Re-think the user interface. Perhaps two radio buttons would be better
suited? Or an optionmenu? Or a togglebutton? Or a button that changes its
label text in response to being clicked?

Long version:
You seem to need to have the user select one of two possible states.
However, it seems very counter-intuitive to manipulate something (e.g.
clicking the button) to only have it become non-interactive because of
this action.

HTH,
