If my opponent casts a disintegrate on my creature with regeneration, can I regenerate my creature?

Disintegrate  No. It says so right on the card. You can activate a regenerate ability, but it will fail to prevent the destruction.

You can play abilities that would regenerate it if for some reason you want to, but they won't do anything; Disintegrate explicitly says that creature can't be regenerated this turn, and that text means what it says, not something else. (Besides, if it would die that turn it's exiled instead, which regeneration doesn't help against in any event.)

Sorry. Playing 3rd edition cards. You responses prompted me to look up a picture on Google. Didn't realize text had changed. Thanks!

Note that what is printed on the card doesnt matter, and you dont need to use Google to look at images of the cards.
Use gatherer.wizards.com to search for the card, and ignore the printed wording: the game uses the Oracle text, regardless of what version of the card you have, or what is printed on it.

Not bad. But what happens flavor wise when one kamahl kills the other one?

That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.

OP: I feel compelled to point out that even the Unlimited printing (which I assume is what you mean by 3rd Edition) says the creature can't be regenerated.

the Revised printing however does not
but as has been said, it's irrelevant what's printed on the card, Oracle wording is what matters
