I would suggest you run through baking a small app to see how the MVC bits fit together (http://book.cakephp.org/view/113/Code-Generation- with-Bake)
The Model is where your data and business logic goes. The Controller handles getting the data from the Model and preparing it for the View. The View handles displaying the data, and interacting with the user. Your process_members.ctp (View) would have a form on it that would submit to the Controller, which would then deal with updating the Model.
