Can parameter or generic be set from Quartus II?

Hi, Is there any way to set values to parameter or generic in Verilog/VHDL RTL code with the Quartus II? I want to change the parameters inside megacore without modifting RTL code. Thanks

It work's exactly as suggested above:

--- Quote Start ---

set_parameter -name my_param my_value

--- Quote End ---

Please consider, that in VHDL parameters can be only set for the top entity, not down the hierarchies. Thus the set_parameter tcl command doesn't need/understand an entity name here.
