This replaces the field 'specie' with the string 'Elephant'. You would  
want to put your code in the update method of your addform class. I  
suggest that you add a breakpoint in the update method and then  
introspect form_fields, I am sure you will find a "default" attribute  
of the form_fields['specie'] field object that you can manipulate.

To make the fields read only (in this case login and role), try  
something like:

     form_fields = grok.Fields(interfaces.IVisitUser,  
for_display=True).select('login', 'role')
     form_fields +=  
grok.AutoFields(interfaces.IVisitUser).omit('object_type', 'login',  
'role')
