The syntax for string literals in object field names is biting you here. To get around it, make an intermediate object and construct it without using literals:

var this_key = 'test';
var push = {};
push[this_key] = 'value';   // here, it will use the variable

mongoose.model('members', Schema).update(
   { id: '0' }, {$push: push} , [], function (err, data){});
