Mongodb findAndModify node js

The syntax is different in the node driver than for the shell, which is the syntax you are using.

db.collection("collection_name").findAndModify(
    { _id: _id },     // query
    [],               // represents a sort order if multiple matches
    { $set: data },   // update statement
    { new: true },    // options - new to return the modified document
    function(err,doc) {

    }
);

There is a separate function for .findAndRemove()
