I realized after I posted this that I did not explain it well, so here
goes try number two.
The editable=false affects the admin interface and I believe the
newforms module and perhaps the old manipulator framework. You can
simply create your own form, particularly with a model this simple,
and do your own validation (see the docs for how to do this) for the
form after checking to see that the user is a super user. Also after
re-reading your post my question is whether or not what you are really
trying to accomplish would require the user field to be editable=false
as well. This would ensure that the email address could not be
changed, and that the user associated with the email address could not
be changed without using a custom view that was limited to the super
user.
