    Protected Sub gvEdit_RowCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvEdit.RowCreated
    Dim row As GridViewRow = e.Row
    Dim columns As New List(Of TableCell)()

    For Each column As DataControlField In gvEdit.Columns
        'Get the first Cell /Column
        Dim cell As TableCell = row.Cells(1)
        ' Then Remove it after
        row.Cells.Remove(cell)
        'And Add it to the List Collections
        columns.Add(cell)
    Next

    ' Add cells
    row.Cells.AddRange(columns.ToArray())

End Sub

Add 4 empty template fields before Username and set thier css to disabled:disabled using CssClass property of ItemStyle tag within TemplateField tag.

            <Columns> 
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Username" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" >
                <ItemStyle CssClass="colDisable" />
                <ItemTemplate>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Username" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" >
                <ItemStyle CssClass="colDisable" />
                <ItemTemplate>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Username" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" >
                <ItemStyle CssClass="colDisable" />
                <ItemTemplate>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
            <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Username" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Left" >
                <ItemStyle CssClass="colDisable" />
                <ItemTemplate>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>

Try this:

protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
        GridViewRow row = e.Row;
        List<TableCell> columns = new List<TableCell>();
        foreach (DataControlField column in GridView1.Columns)
        {
            TableCell cell = row.Cells[0];
            row.Cells.Remove(cell);
            columns.Add(cell);
        }
        row.Cells.AddRange(columns.ToArray());
        }
