Update data without form using Symfony2

Question

I've tried searching about updating data in Symfony2 but look like all tutorials need few normal steps to do this :

Manager initialisation $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
Make Entity with criteria $entity = $em->getRepository('bundle')->find($id);
Create Form $form = $this->createForm(new Type(), $entity);
Bind with request $editForm->handleRequest($request);
Flush data $em->flush();

Let say that I have custom form in twig and do manual getRequest in controller $variable = $request->request->get('name');. Is there any way I can do to update this data for specific ID in entity $entity = $em->getRepository('bundle')->find($id); without create a form for flush my data?

Because I need to update this variable for many ID in my database using iteration. Let say that I have thousands data need to updated with this value. I'm worried if creating form will impact to performance and time.

Simply set your data directly in your entity using your setters and then flush:

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entity = $em->getRepository('Bundle:Entity')->find($id);

$entity->setSomeProperty($propertyValue);

$em->flush();
