If you add an alias to the field list you can do this (I think, again
not tested...)
$this->paginate['fields'] = am( $this->paginate['fields'], array
( 'DAYNAME(Model.field) as `day`' ) );
$this->paginate['conditions'] = am( $this->paginate['conditions'],
array('`day`'=>'Monday' ) );
but as Martin says, the SQL produced and the SQL you where hoping for
would be very helpful.
