Just for people who might find this, you can modify the events object in your initialize method like so:

var MyView = Backbone.View.extend({

events: {
'click .foo': 'handleClickFoo'
},

initialize: function(options) {

// Add an event
if ( /* something */ ) {
this.events['click .save'] = function() {
//do stuff
};
}

// Remove an event
if ( /* something else */ )
delete this.events['click .foo'];
}

});

delegateEvents will get called after initialize, and your events hash will be dynamically changed by all the fiddling you do in the initialize method.
