How to replace a JSON value in Play

Question

How do I replace a value in a JSON value in Play?
Code to illustrate:

def newReport() = Action(parse.json) { request =>
    var json = request.bod

I'm considering moving away from all of those immutable "JSON" solutions. It's just making the code a horrible mess. This is how it would look in SON of JSON:

import nl.typeset.sonofjson._

val json = …
if (json.customerId.as[Int] == -1) {
  json.customerId = 987938
}
