Hi @devika You can do that using this method available  
**wwLib.wwVariable.getValue(“variable\_id”)**  
**wwLib.wwVariable.updateValue(“variable\_id”,newValue)**  
Also to find the any variable id you can simply fetch all the variable id’s or (details of collections,workflows etc) with this method  
**wwLib.$store.\_state.data.data.variables**  
**wwLib.$store.\_state.data.data.collections**  
You can try above methods in the browser console as well or in the **More \> Development \> Show dev information**
