In the SelectedIndexChanged event of your dropdownlist add code that will disable your checkboxes based on the current index selected in your dropdownlist. You may want to add a switch statement so that you can handle each index selected in this event.

public void nameofdropdownlist_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  switch(nameofdropdownlist.SelectedItem.Text.ToString())
  {
     case "A":
       checkbox1.Enabled = true;
       checkbox2.Enabled = true;
       break;
    case "B":
       checkbox1.Enabled = false;
       checkbox2.Enabled = true;
       break;
    default:
       checkbox1.Enabled = true;
       checkbox2.Enabled = true;
       break;

//create a case statement for each item in your dropdownlist that you would like to change the Enabled property of your checkboxes
//if the SelectedItem of your dropdownlist does not exists in a case statement then the code will run the default and set the checkboxes to whatever you would like them to be.

This should get you on the right track.

What nathan said, and make sure the dropdown box posts back, otherwise I doubt the change will take hold.
