  So it turns out you can modify an existing property like this:
  
  ```
  $event->params['entry']->getContent()->existingProperty = 'new value';
  
  ```
  
  What I ended up doing was using a hidden field and then updating the value of that from the sproutForms.onBeforeSaveEntry event:
  
  ```
  craft()->on('sproutForms.onBeforeSaveEntry', function(Event $event) {
      $entry = $event->params['entry'];
      $entry->getContent()->subscribeStatus = 'success';
  });
  
  ```
  
  Since that property can be set depending on what the response is from the cURL post, it's possible to deliver success/error messages to users on the thank you page and prevent the subscribe from silently failing in the background.
