I am novice in sharepoint programming. I have a following code:

SPWorkflowTask  task = some_getter(); task['Status'] = 'Canceled';     task.Update();

and I am getting SPException:

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: 'This task is currently locked by a running workflow and cannot be edited.' at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.PrepareItemForUpdate(Guid newGuidOnAdd, Boolean bMigration, Boolean& bAdd, Boolean& bPublish, Object& objAttachmentNames, Object& objAttachmentContents, Int32& parentFolderId) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.UpdateInternal(Boolean bSystem, Boolean bPreserveItemVersion, Guid newGuidOnAdd, Boolean bMigration, Boolean bPublish, Boolean bNoVersion, Boolean bCheckOut, Boolean bCheckin, Boolean suppressAfterEvents) at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem.Update() at mycode

I believe I am doing something fundamentally wrong. Can anybody help me?
