Milos,

<dtml-call "data.set('varname',['1'])">

should work.

I am guessing you got stumped by the syntax error in your first try. 
 You needed a double quote to complete the data.set() expression : 
"data.set(blah)".  But you did not need the double quotes around the 
second parameter, because you were already inside a python expression. 
 And since the expression is already inside double quotes, you need to 
delimit strings with single quotes.  If you need more, use a python script.
