You do two totally different things in recv and fetch. In recv you can
modify the req object, changing the _request_. In fetch you modify beresp,
the backed response. Cookie is a request header, so change it in recv. If
you where to alter Set-Cookie OTOH, you would do so in fetch.

I would recommend to spend some time on the Varnish Book og the tutorial
"Using Varnish". Or, if you are in NYC on the User Group meetup around the
end of May there will also be a training session.
