Answer 1

For another Column in the same List (or another List on the same Site) you have to use Update Item action

Answer 2

If you are using SharePoint 2013 site. And creating a workflow using SharePoint Designer 2013 you will be prompted to select the platform type either 2010 or 2013. You can choose as per your requirement as Action which we need Set Field in Current Item is available in both the platforms.

So here is step.

1. Create a workflow for Item Creating
2. Add an action from the ribbon control Set Field in Current Item. Refer below screen shot.

As shown in image, click on field link, you will get a drop area from where you can select in which field you want the value to be stored. i.e. 'Place'

Next click on value link, you will be see a dialogue box , from Field from source drop down select your column name from which value will fetched and stored.
