Per the docs, you can use event.data.ref to perform operations:

exports.addUserProperty = functions.firestore
  .document('users/{userId}')
  .onCreate(event => {
    // Get an object representing the document
    // e.g. {'name': 'Marie', 'age': 66}
    var data = event.data.data();

    // add a new property to the user object, write it to Firestore
    return event.data.ref.update({
      "born": "Poland"
    });
});
