You can use FindControl in your master page.

Content page:

<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="myLiteral"></asp:Literal>

And in your master page load (or other place):

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    var myLiteral = ContentPlaceHolder1.FindControl("myLiteral");
    if (myLiteral != null) {
        ((Literal)myLiteral).Text = "Hello World!";
    }
}

Where ContentPlaceHolder1 is the ID of your placeholder in the master page.
