Not sure what you mean? You're trying to set content after it's already 
rendered? You'll probably need to access the FCKEditorAPI object, but I 
don't know if it's running in a custom name space in the CF rendered 
format. I have form validation written on a custom FCKEditor 
implementation, where I needed the value of the field so that I could 
then verify length. For this I needed to access the API methods to pull 
the value:

oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('fieldName');
chkThis = oEditor.GetXHTML();

I would imagine there must be other API accessible methods available. 
You might check their site, FCKEditor.com, where the wiki (accessible 
through the support section) has a lot of information, though the forums 
might be more helpful.
