Why should it work?

Do you think that code works just because you
write some methods without knowing about APIs and the frameworks
behind?

To get hold of an object by path: use restrictedTraverse()
To get hold of objects with a folder: folder.objectValues(9
To change a property of an object: someobject.manage_changeProperties()

Untested:

def foo(self, folder_path, title):

  folder = self.restrictedTraverse(folder_path):
  for o in folder.objectValues():
     o.manage_changeProperties({'tite' : title})
