I think you are mixing up a couple of concepts here and making this too
difficult for yourself.
In your model, each of the fields are just simple attributes in the
class. They are *not* Field sub-classes. The Field sub-classes are
stored in _meta, as you have discovered, for when Django needs their
properties. However, in the model itself, the attributes just hold
normal Python values (strings, dates, numbers, etc).
If you know the name of the attribute, then simply
setattr(mm, f.name, value)
will do what you want. You only need to rummage around inside _meta in
order to find out the candidate list of field names, then you can leave
it alone.
