You can only change certain parameters after calling run.  In 
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/current/ug/node11.html see this:
Between ``run'' commands the reassignTemp, rescaleTemp, and langevinTemp 
parameters can be changed to allow simulated annealing protocols within a 
single config file. The useGroupPressure, useFlexibleCell, 
useConstantArea, useConstantRatio, LangevinPiston, LangevinPistonTarget, 
LangevinPistonPeriod, LangevinPistonDecay, LangevinPistonTemp, 
SurfaceTensionTarget, BerendsenPressure, BerendsenPressureTarget, 
BerendsenPressureCompressibility, and BerendsenPressureRelaxationTime 
parameters may be changed to allow pressure equilibration. The fixedAtoms 
and constraintScaling parameters may be changed to preserve macromolecular 
conformation during minimization and equilibration (fixedAtoms may only be 
disabled, and requires that fixedAtomsForces is enabled to do this).
...
The ``coorfile'' command allows NAMD to perform force and energy analysis 
on trajectory files. ``coorfile open dcd filename'' opens the specified 
DCD file for reading. ``coorfile read'' reads the next frame in the opened 
DCD file, replacing NAMD's atom coordinates with the coordinates in the 
frame, and returns 0 if successful or -1 if end-of-file was reached. 
``coorfile skip'' skips past one frame in the DCD file; this is 
significantly faster than reading coordinates and throwing them away. 
``coorfile close'' closes the file. The ``coorfile'' command is not 
available on the Cray T3E.
