Answer 1

here i can give you an example to edit any record in cakephp with multiple fields

just take look in function and you may have good idea

public function edit($id = null) {
    if (!$id) {
        throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
    }

    $post = $this->Post->findById($id);
    if (!$post) {
        throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
    }

    if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) {
        $this->Post->id = $id;
        if ($this->Post->save($this->request->data)) {
            $this->Session->setFlash(__('Your post has been updated.'));
            $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index'));
        } else {
            $this->Session->setFlash(__('Unable to update your post.'));
        }
    }

    if (!$this->request->data) {
        $this->request->data = $post;
    }
}
