Basically, to make any changes to the data in the datagrid you just need to make changes to the dataProvider you specified. Say, if it was an ArrayCollection, then you would just update the array collection. Then you would want to send the changes back to the server using an HTTPService, RemoteObject, or other call to the server and process the call with some server side scripting.
