The editMember method of CMFDefault's portal_registration tool si probabyl what 
you want:

     security.declareProtected(ManagePortal, 'editMember')
     def editMember( self
                   , member_id
                   , properties=None
                   , password=None
                   , roles=None
                   , domains=None
                   ):
         """ Edit a user's properties and security settings

         o Checks should be done before this method is called using
           testPropertiesValidity and testPasswordValidity
         """
