How do I commit a value w/out commit_form?

        I am trying to build a form with multiple blocks and I want to have a table that I can have an exclusive lock on it. I want to update the value of the single row in the data table and commit it so that someone else logged in can get the new value. I think the only way I can commit a value is to use commit. But commit performs a commit_form. I only want to commit this value, otherwise when I update it no one else can see the change until the commit_form is performed.
