As j0ker said, if you want automatic update of the timestamp, use the `auto_now` option. E.g. `date_modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)`.
If you want to set the field to now only when the object is first created you should use:
```
date_modified = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
```
Or if you want to do it manually, isn't it a simple assignment with python `datetime.now()`?
from datetime import datetime
obj.date_modified = datetime.now()
