switch($eventName) {

        //if we update the existing
        if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_UPD) {
            //added chunk content
            $chunk->setContent('<p>Chunk content</p>');
            //you can immediately save new content
            $chunk->save();
        }

$eventName = $modx->event->name;
switch($eventName) {
    case 'OnChunkFormRender':
        //if we update the existing
        if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_UPD) {
            //we take the content of the chunk
            $content = $chunk->getContent();
            // if there is no content, push in a new one
            if (!$content){
                $chunk->setContent('<p>New content</p>');
                //you can immediately save new content

        //if we update the existing
        if ($mode == modSystemEvent::MODE_UPD) {
            //change the entire contents of the chunk
            $chunk->setContent('<p>New content</p>');
            $chunk->set('name','NewChunkName');
            $chunk->set('description','Description');
            //you can immediately save new content $chunk->save();
        }
