Controller File : use Session helper

class AppController extends Controller {
     var $helpers = array('Session');
     function index()
     {
        $this->Session->write('answer', '10'); //$this->Session->write('key','value');
     }
     ....
 }

Now you can access this varibale in your model :

 class AppModel extends Model {

    function validateanswer(){
        CakeSession::read('answer');/*Here u can get value of varibale answer which you set through controller*/
    }
 }

You would need to use the Session helper to do, 

$this->Session->write('key','value');

But as the comment states, you'll be wanting to set a variable in your model and then use the session to write the same value into that variable in the model, rather than accessing the session actually in the model.

Class MyModel Extends AppModel{
  var $username;
  var $password;
}

Then in your controller you could use something along the lines of,

$this->MyModel->username = $this->Session->read('User.id');
$this->MyModel->password = $this->Session->read('User.password');
