You can't change the value of a variable in XSLT -- XSLT is a declarative language rather than a procedural one. Usually you can use the position() function instead, or use XPaths to navigate around the tree to work out what the value of the variable should be for a particular node. If you tell us what you want to do (e.g. number the items in a list) rather than how you want to go about it, then we should be able to help you.
