Here's an interesting little experiment with custom operators allowing you to do this:

pawn Код:

new variable = 200;
new Pointer:ptr = PointerToVar(variable);

ptr = 123;

printf("%d", variable);
// Output: 123

Note, though, this only works for assignments. Other things like ++, --, /, * doesn't work. Though they could be added just as easy.
