Activate/deactivate kernel parameters without reboot

Hi, I'm running with a 'nouveau.noaccel=1' kernel parameter added at hand at boot (for a random freeze that appears with nouveau driver and the NVIDIA C61 [GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a] (rev a2) GPU). Is there any way to deactivate and reactivate such a parameter without the need to reboot? Thanks
