The earlier reply (suggesting manage_changeProperties()) works if you are trying
to set the actual property value from a DTML method.  However, I believe this
error comes when trying to marshal a form field, in your case probably defined
as:

  <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Date:date">

These fields need string representations in them, so that the marshalling code
can convert them to dates when the form is POSTed.  If you want to provide a
default or hidden value, try this:

  <dtml-let timestamp="ZopeTime().DateTime()">
    <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="Date:date" VALUE="&dtml-timestamp;">
  </dtml-let?
