title: Updating database values after a certain date has passed in Django
body: <p>My site has a section that people can post events with an "event date" field in Django. Is there a way that the "status" field (0 for pending, 1 for approved, and 2 for canceled/expired.) can be updated to 2 after (like 1 day) the date specified in the event date field? The site is designed for minimal maintenance and this would be a tremendous help.</p>
  
  <p>Right now this is just a local server, using MySQL and running django version 1.6.2 python version 2.7.4 I think.</p>
