If I have 5 old outlets that are not grounded(but installed in old plaster walls that I dont want to disturb) can I wire a gfi at lead of circuit and protect the others downstream. I have access to 1 of the outlets, and can reach the wiring of the others from under the house.Or should I fish new wire through the walls ?

Yes.

You can protect the downstream receptacles, by supplying them from the LOAD side of a GFCI device.

Or you could install new cable.
