Answer 1

Have you tried something like this?

 # Create a form to edit an existing Object.
     a = Account.objects.get(pk=1)
     f = AccountForm(instance=a)
     f.save()

# Create a form to edit an existing Article, but use
# POST data to populate the form.
    a = Article.objects.get(pk=1)
    f = ArticleForm(request.POST, instance=a)
    f.save()
