Hi Ahmed,
The short answer is that direct access to edit the DC fields is not provided
by the Fedora APIs. We're just starting to discuss ideas around service
methods (disseminations) which are able to provide both read and write
access to content, which I think would be a nice place for functionality
like this to go. In the meantime, I would bet that a wrapper to provide
these simple write functions for Dublin Core metadata has been written
by someone in the community. Anyone willing to share?
