One option is something like:
MapThread[(#=#2)&,{Table[Symbol["x" <> ToString[i]], {i, 5}],Table
["value" <> ToString[i],{i,5}]}]
but you can't do this twice since the once the symbols are associated
with values the evaluator with evaluate the symbol then attempt to
assign the value resulting in assignment to a raw object.
