That field is read-only because you shouldn't change it during a model run.

If you want to set it before running the model, you can set the value on the connection node itself (which is what the Emulation UI does):

Emulation.Connection modbusConnection = Emulation.Connection("Modbus TCP Connection");
treenode connectionNode = modbusConnection;
setsdtvalue(connectionNode, "isActive", 0);

Note that this won't update any open GUI views. You'll need to close and reopen the Emulation window to see that it changed.
