The way to do what you want is to make a delayed assignment to the
OwnValues of var that overwrites itself on execution.
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) In[1]:=
var:=var=Table[Random[Integer,{0,3}],{param}];
param=3;
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) In[3]:=
?var
Global`var
var:=var=Table[Random[Integer,{0,3}],{param}]
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) In[4]:=
var
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) Out[4]=
{0,0,0}
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) In[5]:=
?var
Global`var
var={0,0,0}
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) In[6]:=
var
(MMA 5.2 Kernel) Out[6]=
{0,0,0}
