How to change Status when update form in Django?

I am working with Django form Updation, but I am facing a small issue, I have 3 fields in form updating, name, image, status, Now if a user upload a image in form then status should be change automaticly in my database.

here is my forms.py file...

class UpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
   model = Product
   fields = ['name', 'image', 'status']

here is my views.py file...

def myview(request, id):
  datas=Product.objects..get(pk=id)
  form = UpdateForm(instance=datas)
  if request.method === 'POST'
      form = UpdateForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None, instance=datas)
      if form.is_valid():
         edit = form.save(commit=False)
         edit.save()
         return HttpResponse('Success')
   else:
      return HttpResponse('Fail')
 template_name='test.html'
 context={'datas':datas}
 return render(request, template_name, context)

Default status is 0 in my database, If a user upload image then status should be 1 in my database, please let me guide how i can do it.

The best way would be to override the save() method of your form class. A possible implementation could be:

class UpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
    ...
    def save(self, commit=True):
        instance = super(UpdateForm, self).save(commit=False)

        # Set status if saving picture
        if instance.image:
            instance.status = 1

        if commit:
            instance.save()

        return m
