Everything you can do manually, you can do by program:

  Look at the source of the management pages you use to do it
  manually.

  The form "action" tells you which method you must use,
  the form controls the parameters needed by the method.

  Sometimes, you need to look at the URL as well.
  It may contain intermediate objects necessary to
  access the method. Use "restrictedTraverse" to
  resolve the URL (without the host path) into the object.

  Call the method with the necessary parameters.

That's all.
