If you just want to assign any values: v.category.

If you create buffers around points which have category values and you 
would like to assign those values to the buffers, you can then (after 
v.category) do something like this:

v.db.addtable yourbuffers
v.db.addcol yourbuffers col="pointcat int"
v.distance from=yourbuffers to=yourpoints  dmax=0 upload=cat column=pointcat
