In your PythonScript, call 

theFolder.manage_addProperty(id=<property-id>, value=<property-value>, type=<property-type>)

later on, when you need to change a property, you can call:

theFolder.manage_changeProperties(<property-id>=<property-value>)

For more information on managing properties, read the file

<your zope>/lib/python/OFS/PropertyManager.py
