There's an internal inconsistency in what you wrote. I must assume that you want to override the value defined in the Administrator client with some other value obtained from a file.
There is no problem assigning a new value to an environment variable; you can use the set command at operating system level, or the ENV SET command at TCL level.
To pick this up automatically in a job, simply have the default value for the particular environment variable job parameter to $ENV.
Otherwise you can pick up the value by any means you like (for example an Execute Command activity or a Routine activity) and pass that into the Job activity through the regular job parameters grid.
