Edit form field value on template

I'm trying to edit the value of a form field inside a django template. I've tried a lot of stuff. I think the following is supposed to work: 

{% with form.name.value="asdsad" %}

    {{form.name}}

{% endwith %}

But it presents the following error: u'with' expected at least one variable assignment

Nothing seems to work. What is the correct form of doing this?

You might have to use jQuery. The form field can be referenced by id = id_fieldname. You can then change the attribute value by using $('#id_fieldname).attr("value", new_value).

Suppose I want to edit name field of a form,

<script>
    var name_object = $('#id_name');
    var current_name = name_object.val();
    var new_name = "new_name"
    name_object.attr('value',new_name);
</script>

The id of the input tag of the HTML is always id_fieldname. Here, fieldname is the name given in the model.
