Answer 1

As per my knowledge you can not modify pseudo style directly, but you can insert the CSS to the head portion of the DOM by this way,

jQuery

$( "div" ).click(function() {

  $('<style>p:before{top:10px}</style>').appendTo('head');

});

Answer 2

With jQuery you need to append style in the head:

$('<style>#buble:before{top: 50px}</style>').appendTo('head');
