Change JavaScript variable with Selenium

Question

I have a JavaScript boolean with a name foothat I would like to change the value from true to false. The variable has a global scope.

In Selenium, how can I change the value of this variable?

(A variable hidden to the user disables the processor intensity, which causes Selenium to choke.)

You did not specify the language and tool Selenium, therefore ...

Java + Selenium WebDriver

// assuming JS is enabled for this driver instance
((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("window.foo = false;");

Java + Selenium RC

selenium.getEval("window.foo = false;")

C # + Selenium WebDriver

((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("window.foo = false;");
