This functionality is available via GUI in STM32Cube-IDE (Live Expressions) and MCUXpresso-IDE (Global Variables).

@haneefdm thank you for all the work you and others have done on this extension. Did we get any closer for implementing the variable modification while watching it? Thanks!

Is this Misha? This is pretty low on my priority list. I am sure it is possible but I haven't had the testing bandwidth for it.

I implemented this feature in my fork in this commit: Avlaak@8c8cf44
You can cherry-pick this commit, and if everything looks good, submit a PR to the upstream project.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to implement more features due to TreeView limitations, so I had to rewrite everything using WebView — which makes it impossible to submit a PR to this project until the Live Watch rendering method is changed.

If you don't feel like building it yourself, you can grab a release with this feature included — feedback is always welcome.
