how can I modify form model data in Django

I want to send data from Form but can't send a specific data

for example: in my model has a student that I want send separate from view

in view:

student = Student.objects.filter(id=id) 
if request.method == "POST":
    form = StudentProject(request.POST, files=request.FILES)
    form.student_id=id
    form.save()
    return redirect('main')

in form:

class Meta:
    model=Project
    fields=['name','link','image','body','term']

in model:

name=models.CharField(max_length=100,null=False)
link=models.CharField(max_length=1000,null=False)
image=models.ImageField(upload_to='static/project/images/')
body=models.TextField()
term=models.DecimalField(max_digits=1,decimal_places=0,null=False)
student=models.ForeignKey(Student,on_delete=models.CASCADE)
created_at=models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)

I found that I can modify ModelForm in django like this:

class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
    name=forms.CharField(label="Name",widget=forms.TextInput(
        attrs={
            'class':'form-control',
        }
    ))

If you want to send specific data, then exclude all the fields that you don't want to be on the form. Suppose I only want the name of the project:

class Meta:
    model = Project
    fields = ['name']

in my model has a student that I want send separate from view

I think the cleanest way to do this is to separate your initial form into two, create two views, and have the user input it separately.
