The short answer is you can't. By the sounds of things, radio buttons aren't really the best way of displaying the info you want anyway (radio buttons are generally used to display mutually exclusive values, ie you can select only one of them). Maybe text/display items or possibly even a list item are the way to go?

Hope this helps
