You could also try overriding column attributes:
http://www.sqlobject.org/SQLObject.html#overriding-column-attributes

e.g.

"""
class Foo(SQLObject):
	lastModified = sqlobject.DateTimeCol()
	number = sqlobject.IntCol()

	def _set_number(self, value):
		self.lastModified = datetime.datetime.now()
		self._SO_set_number(value)
"""
