Take a look at this You just need to find the object, get the component that you want (your script), and, in this create a method to change the variable, or just change it, if its public.

There is a very simple way to achieve this using Public Static Variables

You can Create A public Static Variables in the Script so that they can accessed in other Script as well as their value modified

Here is the simple example:

 public static int score;

Just for understanding assume that this variable is in Script called global.cs. Now you can easily access this variable anywhere(in any script) using

   int getscore=global.score;

Now to change this score variable which is in the global.cs file. You can simple do this

  int newscore=10;
  global.score=newscore;

or even directly just by this code

  global.score=10;

Tell me in Comments if your doubts are not solved.
