The way I would do it is:

    *** Test Cases ***
    Test Case Title
        ${passed} =  run keyword and return status
        ...  Should be equal  ${i}  10
        ${var} =  set variable if  ${passed}  It is today

    Another Test Example
      ${var} =  set variable if  ${i}==10  It is today

    *** Keywords ***    
    It is today
        ${today} =  Get Current Date  UTC  result_format=%-d-%-m-%Y  exclude_millis=true
        [Return]  ${today}

Actually, the easiest way to do it is by using Run Keyword If instead of Set Variable If like below:

Foo
    ${ret}=    Run Keyword If    ${i} == 10    Keyword Which Return Something
    Should Be Equal    ${ret}    something

Keyword Which Return Something
    ${var}=    Set Variable    something
    [Return]    ${var}

One way to do this would be the usage of "Run keyword if" with "set test variable" eg.

*** Test cases ***

foo

    Run keyword if    ${i} == 10    kw that sets test variables
    should be equal    ${var}    HELLO

*** keywords ***

kw that sets test variables

    set test variable    ${var}    HELLO

Just store the value from Keyword in a temp variable:

${temp} = | Keyword    | Param1 | Param2 | .....
${Var} =  | ${i} == 10 | ${temp}

If i is 10, ${Var} will be set to the return of Keyword.
