Answer 1

You change properties of any Component (Unity Component or Script) by getting a reference to the Component and using that.

Assuming that the component is actually on your GameObject:

ComponentType component = GetComponent<ComponentType>();
component.RandomProperty = randomValue;

Example:

Rigidbody rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
rigidbody.freezeRotation = true;

You can use GameObject.AddComponent<ComponentType>(); to Add a component.

Any component needs to derive from MonoBehaviour in order to be able to attach to a GameObject.

See:

GameObject.GetComponent

GameObject.AddComponent
