The Django documentation set contains a [1]document
titled "Creating forms from models" completely devoted to
the topic. I'd recommend to read it if you haven't done so
yet and if you are in a hurry as you seems to be.
That document shows, somewhat prominently, a
[2]section named "Using a subset of fields on the form"
that describes the techniques (and the relevant
caveats) for doing what you describe.
