You can change problem data using the API.
Whether that is practical depends on how your
parameter affects the data and whether you can
figure out the what row and column indices go
with which row and column names.

To do so generically, I think that you would have to edit GLPK.
to let it take an open FILE instead of a file name.
You also need a way to associate a FILE with a string
instead of external data.
You can do this with mmap and fdopen,
but I'm not sure that it's worth it.

Is there a reason that you don't want to generate a new file?
For my code, I generally use the API for problem generation.
