Hello @mirzasa,
Just to clarify your question. Are you asking if it's possible to "work with actual Socrata datasets but be able to set some values, like 'description' "? Is that correct?
If so, our current Socrata 'datasync' library does not have awareness of any metadata. However, if this is functionality you would like added to FME, you can submit an idea for the developers. The ideas page can be found here: https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/list.html
Alternatively, there is an example that you can use as a workaround. XMLUpdater is likely the most common workaround. An example showcasing the XMLUpdater is outlined in the following article: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/868/using-the-xmlupdater-transformer-to-manipulate-met.htm
