Changing the environment variable in the current process

I have a script that exports an environment variable and runs some indexes.

export LOGLEVEL="1"
/home/myuser/bin/myscript1.sh
/home/myuser/bin/myscript2.sh

LOGLEVELavailable to start processes from indexes. How to change an environment variable LOGLEVEL?

I tried to set the variable with export LOGLEVEL="5", but this does not work.
