    I’d like to know what is the PHP function to use to save values into fields that can be retrieve by using um_user(‘nameOfField’); ?
    I was thinking of update_user_meta() but this is not that. Value saved there seems to be only retrievable through get_user_meta().
    Any help ?

    Answering to myself for people who will need this information:

    If you’ve created (or want to create) a profile value to be saved & retrieved using um_user(‘name_of_field’); you can save it like this :

    

global $ultimatemember;
$user_id = um_user('ID');
    
um_fetch_user($user_id);
$toupdate[] = array('name_of_field' => 'its_value');
UM()->user()->update_profile($toupdate);

    Well in fact it seems that you also need to save the value in user_meta too,
    so you need to add also this line :

    
update_user_meta($user_id, 'name_of_field','its_value');
