Hey Justin, In reply to your first question, no, there isn't anything like that in cake yet.
So if you want accessors/mutators you have to write the functions yourself. The main reason for this is because the ORM layer in cake isn't fully object oriented yet (I understand it's planned for 2.0). For your second question: you can check for the value of your checkbox field in the controller action that receives the form submission and after you're done with it just unset() it. Hope this help!
