In your Case you can write the following jquery code:

   $('.staff_on_site').click(function(){

     var rBtnVal = $(this).val();

     if(rBtnVal == "yes"){
         $("#no_of_staff").attr("readonly", false); 
     }
     else{ 
         $("#no_of_staff").attr("readonly", true); 
     }
   });
});
