How to reenable event.preventDefault?

You would have to unbind the event and either rebind to a separate event that does not preventDefault or just call the default event yourself later in the method after unbinding.
There is no magical event.cancelled=false;

As requested

 $('form').submit( function(ev){

         ev.preventDefault();

         //later you decide you want to submit
         $(this).unbind('submit').submit()

  });
