I did that, but although the new values get updated, the defcustom in the file  
used during init resets to the default values.

In my file I define

(defgroup tpframe nil
  "Set position of frame."
  :group 'convenience)

(defcustom frame-pos (cons 8 8)
  "Position of initial frame as (X . Y) ."
  :type 'sexp
  :group 'tpframe)
