Declare global parameters in your stylesheet:

<xsl:param name="elname"/>
<xsl:param name="attname"/>

Then write something like

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:if test="name() = $elname">
     <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:attribute name="{$attname}">new value</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
