Change field value on another form

Change field value on another form

Hi,
i have and aplication made of two forms:

1) applicants
2) tasks


in the applicants form, there is a field named "action", that means the action i have to do with the applicant, maybe call, email, meet.


now, in the tasks form, obviously i entry my tasks: the question is: when i wntry another task, may i have a field that insert the value in the "action" field in the other form?
of course it should be the right applicant


example:

i have an applicant called "mad horse", is "action" field has the value "call" (cause i have to call him). Then, i make another task (so another form) called "call mad horse", i have a lookup field to select the applicant "mad horse", and i have a field named "action", just like the other field in applicant form.
Using this field in task form, may i change the field in the "mad horse" record in the applicant form?

thank, and sorry for the english, i'm italian i like spaghetti, not languages :-D

This week, it's going to be about automatically giving a custom Deal name whenever a lead is converted. Business scenario Deals are the most important records in CRM.

                                                              Problem: We use quotes which convert to sales orders but Users / Sales Reps do not create opportunities / deals and go straight to creating a quote. This leads to poor reporting. Implementing this solution improves reporting and makes it easier for users.
