The CellMouseEnter event of DataGridView control can be used for this purpose as shown below

C#

private void dataGridView1_CellMouseEnter(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e) 
{
    //Skip the Column and Row headers
    if (e.ColumnIndex < 0 || e.RowIndex < 0) {
        return;
    }
    var dataGridView = (sender as DataGridView);
    //Check the condition as per the requirement casting the cell value to the appropriate type
    if (e.ColumnIndex == 2 && (string)dataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Value=="2")
        dataGridView.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
    else
        dataGridView.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
}
