Is it possible to disinherit the disobedient sons from their rightful inheritance and grant it instead to the dutiful daughter and the current wife?
Disobeying parents is one of the greatest major sins. It is not permissible for a father to oppress his son or deny him his rights. It is not permissible for a father to be unfair in giving gifts and grants to his children, giving to some and depriving others, because the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Be mindful of Allah and be just among your children." Some children should not be given and others deprived due to their shortcomings, nor is it permissible to make a will to that effect. One can try to reach out to the children, and mediate through their mother or her relatives to reconcile. A father may gift his wife whatever he wishes without having to be just between her and his children, provided that this is not intended to deprive some heirs.
