I want to change the "Text" property of a Textfield when i submit my form. How can i assign a value to a Textfield out of the OnSubmit property?In C# i would just assign it like this:
Class.Text = "XYZ"
Thanks!

PowerApps uses values by reference not by assignment.
I am not sure what the OnSubmit property is that you refer to. I am assuming you mean the OnSuccess of your form.
If so, you can set a variable in your OnSuccess action. Either a screen variable - UpdateContext({someVar:"SomeVal"}) or a global app variable - Set(someVar, "SameVal")
You can then set the Text property of your control (presumably a label) to someVar
I hope this is helpful for you.
To expand on @RandyHayes' response, you may be looking to change/set the Update property of the Data Card within the form.

You can unlock the Data Card and update the individual controls, and the properties of the Data Card itself. In your example, you'd be looking to
