You need to establish a couple of foreign key fields in your model (eg
created and updated) which both link to auth.user. Then grab
request.user at the appropriate time and do <model>.created =
request.user and <model>.updated = request.user just before saving.

This can be done in the admin
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model


In your own forms it is the same as updating any other fields.
