M-x set-variable
You can also evaluate any code with M-: so this also works:
M-: (setq variable ...)
And you can enter the code to any buffer (*scratch* buffer, for
example), then put the point after the closing parent of the code part
you want to evaluate and press C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp).
For more info:
C-h r m Variables RET
