have sth ready to V的ready 還是形容詞媽 have 可以直加adj 怪怪的

ready是形容詞沒錯, 但它是修飾[sth]的, 而與have無關.
而這個[sth]是作為to V的受詞.

舉例:
have food ready to eat  <--- food是to eat的受詞
have dresses ready to wear <--- dresses是to wear的受詞
have money ready to spend <--- money是spend的受詞 
have a dictionary ready to look up  <--- look up是片語動詞, 視為一體.
have weapons ready to fight with   <--- fight是不及物, 所以要加介系詞with.

以上是have作為一般動詞「擁有; 具有」之意來解析.

此外, 當have作為使役動詞時, sb/sth是to V的動作主體, 就不是to V的受詞了
have sb/sth ready to V
這種情況, ready to V稱為「受詞補語(OC)」, 亦即have+O+OC的結構.
例如:
have the soldiers ready to fight  <--- 士兵是to fight的動作主體, 而不是to fight的受詞
have the funds ready to back up <--- the funds是to back up的動作主體, 而不是其受詞

ready的動詞用法在英文屬於罕用, 幾乎是在淘汰邊緣的用法.
例如「將會讓他們準備好」
一般是說: will get them ready; will get them prepared
而不會說: will ready them

當一個片語有兩種可能的意思時, 不可執著於其中的一種.
have food ready to eat 
意思是: 有現成的食物可吃
也可以是: 備好食物來吃
依前後文來決定是哪個意思.

我有個問題想問問
ready 可當形容詞，也可當動詞
如大大所說的，我知道have someone ready(adj.)to...
這樣一來
那就表示說也能寫成
have someone readied to do something= get someone prepared to do something
Is it right or wrong?

感謝以上Louis大師的分析
的確我也比較常看到have them ready的用法
have them fixed
fix my car
也都同大大講的
我之前看厲陰房
裡面就有提到車子壞了
有個人問說為啥車子壞了不修
他說他不會修，但是不想麻煩另一個人，他就說I'll have it fixed

to have something (to be) ready to V
這裡的ready是形容詞，當受詞補語，是位於受詞something，而不是have的直接後面。
類似的寫法：

to have something done = something happens to you
While they were on holiday, they had their car broken into.
過去分詞當受詞補語（屬形容詞性質）

to have something done = to arrange for something to be done or for someone to do something
The place is looking much better since they had it redecorated.

to have (got) something ready/done/finished = to have finished work on something so that it is ready

本句的have屬於不完全及物動詞用法，所以用到受詞補語，補述部的語意不足。

本人同意幻星大師的推理。

請參見韋氏網路字典對ready當及物動詞的解釋及例句：
They readied the room for guests.
She readied herself to speak.
We have to ready ourselves for a tough flight ahead.

我個人以為：to have someone ready ...比...readied較合理，因為受詞補語是人時，預備好了應該與受詞是一個靜態的簡單狀況：They are ready. 
此外，句子的動詞have已經表示主導者是誰了（是主詞），應不必在補語上再一次表示受詞的這個狀態是被動的（較複雜）：They are readied (by xxx)。

2013-09-19 13:16:35 補充：
I will have my car fixed (by a mechanic).(給別人修時,可以不寫出by xxx,因為誰做不重要,而且任何人都可以做)
I will fix my car.(我自己修)
I will have my car fixed by myself.(我自己修,必須寫出來by myself,才明確表示不是別人做的)但這種寫法太繞圈子了,不符修辭要求,應會說成: I myself will fix my car.
