I didn't figure out how to do this client-side, but I am able to set the radio buttons server-side.
Using the following code I was able to set the radio button in code-behind using C#:
WebDataGrid grid = WeldsDataGrid;
RadioButtonList rbl_response;
foreach (GridRecord row in grid.Rows)
{
rbl_response = (RadioButtonList)row.Items[4].FindControl("rblStatus");
rbl_response.SelectedValue = "Complete";
}
