The method for changing a header value is:

HTTP::replace

as in:

when HTTP_RESPONSE {

        HTTP::header replace Location "[HTTP::header value Location]&stuff=1"

}

Notice that the 

HTTP::header replace
operation is not placed in the substitution operators ([...]) because you require not return value from that operation.
