Use setline() or first delete its contents and then paste your buffer in
there.

Use the normal dd command
or use the :d _ command
or use setline('.', '')

Use the append() or setline function calls.

position the cursor somewhere using cursor() or setpos(). Alternatively,
if you use setline() or append(), they take as argument, on which line
to operate.
