Is it possible to modify libgdx's Table cells?

I'm using libgdx Table to show some info. This information can change sometimes. I would like to change the cells so that they reflect the updated values. Is this possible or are Tables designed to be static? To clarify, I would like to do is something like this:

class MyTable extends Table{
    Cell<Label> cell;
    public MyTable(){
        super();
        cell = add("some value");
        // Add many more cells and rows here
    }

    public void updateCell(String val){
        cell.update(val); // How to do this??
    }
}

Ideally, I would like to do this without knowing the position of the changed cell, but any solution that requires that info is OK too.

add("some value") is a convenience method, which actually adds a Label with the given text.

You can achieve the same by doing this:

Label myLabel = new Label("some value", skin);
add(myLabel);

After that you can change the text by changing the label itself.

public void updateCell(String val){
    Label myLabel = (Label) cell.getActor();
    myLabel.setText(val);
}
