Comment:

Ok, to disable toolbar button, you can use api e.g.
{{{
editor.on('instanceReady', function(evt){
this.getCommand( 'justifyleft' ).disable();
this.getCommand( 'newpage' ).disable();
});
}}}

There is however no way to disable dropdowns. They don't use commands.
There could be either some api or dedicated method to do that (but then a
dedicated method for toolbar would have to be introduced).

Comment (by j.swiderski):

Dropdowns are not related to commands so they can only be disabled through
{{{ui}}}. The problem with CKEditor default dropdowns is they are all
context sensitive so as soon as you hit any dropdown matching style, the
dropdown will get enabled again.
{{{
editor.on( 'instanceReady', function( evt ){
editor.ui.instances.FontSize.setState(CKEDITOR.TRISTATE_DISABLED);
});
}}}

The above workaround will only work on custom dropdowns which do not check
current selection in editor contents.
