You can assign to form._errors directly if you want to do this. Just make sure you do it either after the automatic field cleaning for that field name has taken place of in your clean() method override, otherwise your changes will be nuked by the automatic cleaning. Also, ensure that you assign a django.newforms.ErrorList instance to the dictionary key there and not just a Python list; that will ensure that the ultimate display of the error messages comes out correctly.
