Sorry. I missed the beginning of this. Is this what you need?

on mouseUp
  set the myArray["age"] of me to "very old"
end mouseUp

setprop myArray[whichKey] pValue
  switch whichKey
   case "name"
    answer "Your name is" && pValue
    break
   case "age"
    answer "You are" && pValue
    break
   end switch
end myArray
