For the Insert Parameters you may use DefaultValues. You can also use QueryString parameter.

See also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.formviewinserteventhandler.aspx though this is for getting/not setting values.

I had a link at work to do what you want, but I'm not there right now...
