How to store Apex list to Object field and read it back

I need to save the selected options a user picks on a SelectList tag. On the controller snippet below, how can I save contractNumbers into a SalesForce object field ? Also, when I open the record up I need to load the save contractNumbers as the selected values for !SelectedSubmissions on the visualForce page. 
  
public void getSelectedSubmissions() {
 // called by command button 'Select Submissions'
    try {
      this.submissionList = querySubmissionsById(this.SelectedSubmissions); 
 
      for (Submissions__c sublist : submissionList) {
      string val1 = sublist.Name; //Just an example. Change as needed
      string val2 = sublist.SPD_REF_PS__c; 
      string val3 = sublist.Company_Code__c;      
      string contractNumber = val2 + this.ContractYear + val3;
       contractNumbers.add(contractNumber);
    }
  
<!-- Selection List -->   
       <apex:selectList value="{!SelectedSubmissions}" multiselect="true">
         <apex:selectOptions value="{!SubmissionOptions}"/>
       </apex:selectList><p/>
