Explain Programmatic way to set profile attributes in Salesforce.
I need to remove "Modify All", "Edit" , "Delete" permissions on custom object for a very long list of profiles. It can be done by going to each individual profile and changing the permissions via UI but is there any other easier way to perform this action in bulk?

Hi Audrey,
There's a free app called The Permissioner which makes stuff like that easier.
This is the link of the app on appexchange.

You can use the Enhanced Profile List Views to update object permissions directly in the profile list view.
Setup --> User Interface --> Mark "Enable Enhanced Profile List View" TRUE
Setup --> Profiles --> Create a custom list view for your custom profiles and add the object permissions to your columns.
Check off all the ones you want to edit
Use the inline editing to mark permissions true and false
Select "All XX selected records" under "Apply changes to"
Hope this helps!Thanks.

And also The Metadata API provides programmatic access from any web-service capable language including Apex itself. So if this is a modification that you want to repeat in the future it could be worth writing some code.
But a more common approach would be to read/modify/write the profiles using one of the IDEs or the Ant tools where you would use a few search and replace operations across all the files for the "modify" part.
Thanks.
