Alternative solution:

sage: D={1:{2:3,4:2},2:{}}
sage: D[1].update({5:'smile'})
sage: D
{1: {2: 3, 4: 2, 5: 'smile'}, 2: {}}

Possibly more readable...

Like that

sage: A={1:{2:3,4:2},2:{}}
sage: A[1][5]='smile'
sage: A
{1: {2: 3, 4: 2, 5: 'smile'}, 2: {}}

can i use this using for loop?

Sure you can use a loop; for instance:

sage: A={1:{2:3,4:2},2:{}}
sage: for key, value in A.items():
....:     value[5] = key^2
....:     
sage: A
{1: {2: 3, 4: 2, 5: 1}, 2: {5: 4}}
