is there any functionality to update or change the underlying data set using
the pivot table itself. i.e. i have pivot table that consolidates a large
budget, and want to update certain items in the pivot table display... can
these changes be pushed back to the data set.

From a trawl through google archives,
perhaps this J-Walk tip would be relevant:
