You should be able to do this call inside the with to change the
property:

<dtml-call
expr="propertysheets.PDFinfo.manage_changeProperties(auteur='nicolas')">

Since getObject returns the instance and with puts in on top of the
namespace, you do not need to explicitly go through the Control_Panel.
Going through the ZClass is in fact not what you want because you want
to change an instance property not a class property.
