How can I hide an input form and insert a default value?

<?php
/**************************************************************************
* Implementation of hook_nodeapi();
*/
function sns_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id){

if ($form_id = 'profile_node_form'){
$form['title']['#required'] = false;
$form['title']['#access'] = false;
};
}
