For achieving this you will have to cheat SharePoint OOB forms using jQuery (or javascript). 1. Add the fields in your list and mark them non-mendatory. 2. Update the NewForm.aspx to include a jQuery script to hide the non-mandatory fields. . 3. Update the EditForm.aspx page to include another jQuery script that will check your field values and have custom logic for making the fields as mandatory.
