You can use the <var> task of AntContrib or using <script> and
project.setProperty()=20
to override an existing one.

BUT

you should think about your buildfile: the buildfile should describe =
your
build
process on a higher level than
if-that-is-true-do-this-else-that-and-in-case-of-...=20
Keep in mind that Ant is not a functional programming language - never
designed for that :-)
