Disable and Enable Backspace or Ctrl^H in vi

Could anybody tell me how I can disable or enable the backspace key in vi editor.
I would like to feel the essence of the commands of vi editor but as I have the latest version and it is supporting the backspace key.
I do it on promp using the command
stty erase -
This command stops the backspace on the prompt but how I can do it in vi editor.
