The MemberData tool handles that info. Try, in an ExternalMethod:

   wrapped = self.portal_membership.getMemberById( member_name )
   wrapped.setMemberProperties( { 'email': 'newvalue@example.com' } )

You might be able to use 'setProperties' instead in a PythonScript,
depending on roles.  This is what the 'personalize' skin method does,
but it expects to be called by the member themselves.
