You are right: you cannot change the values from Ant.
You could use the "setx" system command, so NEW processes will get the new
values.
I dont know any possibility to change the environment for RUNNING processes.
Maybe via PowerShell, WindowsManagementInstrumentation, ... a la
for(Projess p : allRunningProcesses)
p.setEnv(key, newValue)
