Re: Make objects from model data

It has little to do with MVC, because You are referring to ORM. And
it's working different in cake.
You can call
$this->SomeModel->read(null, 1); // 1 is an id
Then You can read/write particular field this way:
$this->SomeModel->data["SomeModel"]["name"] = "new_name";
$this->SomeModel->save();

I don't this it works with getting more than one element (via
Model::find())
