Would the script then modify the code?

The script essentially generates the code. The template file has a .txt extension. For SOPC builder, each component is uniquely named, so the template is read into a buffer, the parameters are set, and then a .vhd file is written out.

The best solution for me would be that it overrides the value given in the package for the generation of the system but it shouldn't touch the file.

Then the above will not work. Unless you consider 'the file' to be the template, and the package to be generated code.

If this is not possible I would be interested in your solution which modifies the constant. Do you have an example on how to do that?

What is the constant doing? If the constant is a generic used on components within the design, then you can just set the generic in Quartus via a Tcl synthesis script or via the GUI. If however, you have a 'generic package', then it depends on the support for that feature in Quartus ... last time I looked that construct was not supported, but I haven't tried in 11.1sp1.
