 * hi, i can’t find a way to update the custom field but only to display.
 * update_post_meta( $post_id = $id, $key = $meta_key, $value = $my_meta_value );
   
   will just update the custom field meta of wordpress but not WCK’s.
 * Please tell me how to update using the API. Thank you

 * Hi,
 * For the moment we can’t update Custom Fields created by WCK because they are 
   not stored, each custom field, in their own meta (unserialized fields).
 * We are in the process of removing the serialized fields from WCK. This will take
   some time but it will be available in future updates.
 * Then you will be able to use update_post_meta() to update Custom Fields created
   by WCK.
 * Best regards,
