    I have a variable "Volume Number" defined as 00<$volnum>

    Volnum is currently set to "35". How do I change that value to "02"?

    In the Variables POD (or use Special > Variables) select the variable to be changed. Then click on the edit button as shown in this screen cap:

    This will then open the edit panel in the docking area on the right side:

    Then edit the Definition entry to insert what you need.
