    The easiest way would probably be to make an AJAX request to the action, and have the action return the proper data in JSON.

    public JsonResult YourActionName(int id)
{
    // Fetch your data from DB, or create the model
    // in whatever way suitable
    var model = new YourModel {
        UserName = "Something"
    };

    // Format the response as JSON
    return Json(model);
}
