search for $TCA on typo3.org
you can use a userfunction for manupulating other records

example:
...
"config" => Array (
	"type" => "input",
	"wizards" => Array(
		"_PADDING" => 0,
		"_HIDDENFIELD" => 1,
 	         "add" => Array(
		"type" => "userFunc",
      		"notNewRecords" => "0",
                  "params" => Array(
       		    "table"=>"tt_news_lang",
       		     "pid"=>"_STORAGE_PID",
       		     "fkey"=>"fkey",
       		     "typefield"=>"type"
                  ),
      		"userFunc" => "tx_bgmlanguages_wizard_editLang->main",
     		)
    	)
)
...
create extension with userfunc eg (you know how to do that?):
function main (&$conf,$object){
   debug($conf);

}
youll see whats in there (data of actaul record ...)

send pm if you want to see a working example
