In latex-mode, do C-h v font-lock-keywords RET to find the current value.
Then in your .emacs do

   (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'my-latex-mode-hook)
   (defun my-latex-mode-hook ()
     ;; (font-lock-mode 1)
     (setq font-lock-keywords <the-changed-value>))

I commented out the call to font-lock-mode because I'm not sure whether
it's harmful or necessary.
Now as to how to come up with a new value, you'll have to look through
the regexps and replace the ones that say "\\\\[a-z]" or some such to
also include the chars whose catcode you've set to 11.

Oh, I see, so it's not part of what the `inputenc' package does.
