Just an addition to abeing's answer above. You can define a function to encapsulate the complexity of defineProperty as mentioned below.

var defineProp = function ( obj, key, value ){
  var config = {
    value: value,
    writable: true,
    enumerable: true,
    configurable: true
  };
  Object.defineProperty( obj, key, config );
};

//Call the method to add properties to any object
defineProp( data, "PropertyA",  1 );
defineProp( data, "PropertyB",  2 );
defineProp( data, "PropertyC",  3 );
