if (count > 0) {
    id  sectionInfo = [[self.fetchedResultsController sections] objectAtIndex:0];
    count = [sectionInfo numberOfObjects];
    if (count > 0) {
        NSManagedObject *obj = [self.fetchedResultsController objectAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];
        NSString *name = [obj valueForKey:@"name"];
        [obj setValue:@"X" forKey:@"name"];
        // Save the context.
        [self saveContext];
        [obj setValue:name forKey:@"name"];
        // Save the context.
        [self saveContext];
    }
