[Dieter Maurer]

It would have been better to ask this CMF related question in the
CMF mailing list (<mailto:zope-cmf at zope.org>).

You can use the "MembershipTool" method "getMemberById" to obtain
a "MemberData" object for a member identified by it id (aka "username").
This method is protected by the "ManagePortal" permission. Thus,
you may need a proxie role.

Then you can use the "MemberData" method "setProperties" to modify
the properties for this member.
