You should get an error message, when trying this (don't know, why you didn't get it).
Assign a list of rules to Options[f]:

Options[f] = {pars -> {a, b, c}};

SetOptions[f, (Options[f, pars] /. a -> d)[[1]]];

or, if you want to replace the first element of the list, no matter what it is:

SetOptions[f, ReplacePart[Options[f, pars], numberone, {1, 2, 1}][[1]]]

Caused by the syntax error above, there has not been any assignment to Options[f].
