Answer 1

I am sure you got the answer by far now, still updating it to help other folks.

you can update specific field by below code.,

 Query query1 = new Query(Criteria.where("id").is("123"));
              Update update1 = new Update();
              update1.set("available", false);
              mongoTemplate.updateFirst(query1, update1, Customer.class);

Answer 2

As of today, you can't update the document using MongoRepository using one query. If you really want to update a particular field using MongoRepository then following is the steps:

1. Fetch the document that you want to update
2. Set the new value to a particular field and save that document.

Example:

MyDocument myDocumentToUpdate = myDocumentRepository.findById(documentId); // fetching a document that you want to update the field
myDocumentToUpdate.setMyField(myNewValue); // setting the new value to the field myField
myDocumentRepository.save(myDocumentToUpdate); // saving (It basically updates the document) the updated document
