In tcsh (or csh, for that matter), you use the setenv command to write a value to an environment variable.

setenv Key SomeOtherValue

For more information take a look at any csh reference (because it's more widely used, and tcsh is completely compatible.)

For example, see here.

Update: OP has now clarified the the wants to edit the content of a properties file, not an environment variable.

Here is a good SO question/answer that solves this different problem nicely. It uses bash, but translating should be easy.

Changing contents of a file through shell script
