Try this:

#+name: read_datatable
#+header: :var datatable=datatable
#+begin_src R :results value :colnames yes
   datatable$B <- 10 * datatable$B
   datatable
#+end_src

#+name: some_code
#+HEADER: :var datatable=read_datatable()
#+begin_src R :noweb yes :results graphics :file testplot.png
plot(datatable$A, datatable$B)
#+end_src
