Most of the time a UML model evolves as you do iterations through a project. If you generate source code based on a UML model you want the model to be in sync with the code. Sometimes it's practical to make changes in the source code during the iteration instead of having to make all changes in the UML tool meaning you have to make changes in two places. When you go back to do more design you want the UML model to be in sync with the code. It's called round trip engineering, I think, and is supported by tools like Rational Rose.
