Take a look at these scripts on TechNet. The script starting with 5 is updating the Item Category column. http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Import-list-content-to-f735d7fb

Answer 2

i figured out a way to do this TaxonomyFieldValueCollection TagsCat = new TaxonomyFieldValueCollection(String.Empty); TagsCat.PopulateFromLabelGuidPairs(TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.Text);

                            var taxKeywordField = oSpListItem.Fields.GetField("ProductCatalogItemCategory") as TaxonomyField;
                            taxKeywordField.CreateValuesInEditForm = true;
                            try
                            {
                                taxKeywordField.ParseAndSetValue(oSpListItem, TagsCat[0].TermGuid);
                            }
                            catch (Exception e2)
                            {

                            }
                            oSpListItem.Update();

This worked for me
