How to modify rendering template ?

SuperMike

I set a new field by using topics.setTopicField(tid, 'status', 1, callback) in each topic.

this's a piece of code in original topic.tpl

<span class="topic-title" component="topic/title">{title}</span>

And I want to add a html snippet before this code like bellowed:

<!-- IF status == 1 -->
<span class="default">something</span>
<!-- END status -->
<span class="topic-title" component="topic/title">{title}</span>

How could I do this ? Many thanks!

<!-- IF status -->
code
<!-- ENDIF status -->

I want to check topic's status against number since it's a integer value.

But my question is how to add that snippet into rendering template in my plugin ?
