Mike,
You have two options.
Use the task.setParmaeterValue(ParameterName, Value) Value is Object type
or
task.setParameterValues(parameterMap) /* just a map of name value pairs.
BTW you can use the engine api to retrieve the parameters as well.
I used the following two functions to print out all the parameter info
May be more than you want.
