When you create a feature you can set the FID, you do this when calling
FeatureType.create(attributes, fid) to create the feature.

Anyways, if you want to update a feature, you don't have to create a
new one, but issue an update on the feature store. The fid will
be disregarded when you're inserting a feature, a new one will be used.
Hope this helps.
