Update fields in custom object with values from Standard object

Question

I would like to create an "Update" button in Salesforce Opportunities that will update fields in a related custom Opportunity object with information from the standard object. For instance, say I have a custom field in the standard Opportunity object that records square footage of a building, but in the custom object I also need the same square footage entry for a certain formula. I do not want users to enter the value twice due to entry errors. I would like to hit an "Update" button which will fill the square footage field in the custom object with the same value as the one in the standard object. How would I do this? What is the Java code to do this?

Just happened to pop by, you can fix this issue with a trigger. A before update trigger on the standard opportunity can update the field in custom object.   Not sure if this is the right forum to answer, but ask this on developer forums.
