There are several options:
- look at the examples/testcases
- look at the user documentation
- search this forum
- look at the api docs
- ask santa

You can do it in an Action: override the execute() method, for example like this

import org.jbpm.graph.def.Action;
import org.jbpm.graph.exe.ExecutionContext;

public class MyAction extends Action {

 public void execute(ExecutionContext executionContext) throws Exception {


 String aVariable = (String) executionContext.getVariable("aVariable");

 //do something


 executionContext.leaveNode();
 }
}

The ExecutionContext class has a setVariable() method too.
