I don't really understand the problem you present.
Either you display a model field as a read-only piece of information
in the view, and then there is no problem with data being updated.
Or you display model data in a form that can be edited, and in case of
for example the boolean you provide a dropdown list or use a radio
button that displays a readable string to the user but holds the raw
data as the value.
