2Devise and implement your own custom protocol through the (USB-tunneled) serial connection: the Java side would tell the Arduino “set this variable to this value” and the Arduino would do it.Edgar Bonet– Edgar Bonet10/27/2016 13:54:47Commented Oct 27, 2016 at 13:54

Although you can't straight-up change variables on the Arduino, you can create your own protocol over a serial connection using processing (https://processing.org) on your computer, and a sketch on Arduino.
Use the function
Serial.begin(9600);
on the arduino to initialise a serial connection to your computer, and then in processing use the lines:
Serial myPort; // Initialise a serial object (do this at the start of the program)
// Inside the setup() function:
String portName = Serial.list()[0]; // Get the first portname on the list (this may need to be changed to get the right one)
myPort = new Serial(this, portName, 9600);
to connect from the computer.
Once you have done this, you can use the functions
myPort.write();
in processing, and
val = Serial.read();
To recieve data on the arduino.
