See SObject.get() and SObject.put() in the language reference for details, but basically, you can pass in strings to get and set fields.

 

Examples:

 

user u = [select id,isactive,email,username from user where id = :userinfo.getuserid()];
system.assertequals((boolean)u.get('isactive'));
u.put('isactive',false);
database.update(u,false); // this won't work, can't deactivate self
