Where are you doing this? In the form's __init__ method? If so, don't
ever touch base_fields, only work with self.fields.
If you're only intending to populate the initial data for a particular
form field, then usually you would do just that:
self.fields[<field_name>].initial = ....
Or you could update the form's initial data dictionary:
self.initial_data[<field_name>] = ...
When the field is rendered the initial data value will be passed through
to the widget correctly.

Depends upon how you're using them. You've provided no details. How
about spending five minutes to create a simple model and form
demonstrating what you're trying to do?
