How to set/ edit a property of an object by using setter

Question

According to my research, I decided using getter/setter for my global variables(please correct me if I am wrong). I can set and get the private variable, but how can I edit value of a property in the object?

Since I no longer can use obj.id = "33", I tried obj.id.set("33") which makes no sense. How can I edit a value in the object?

var x = {"id":"93","customId":"a1a8d3c5af2d4807879e5fc6721d65ad","accountNumber":null};

var obj = (function() {
	var holder = "";
	return {
		get: function() {
			return holder;
		},
		set: function(val) {
			holder = val;
		}
	};
})();
console.log("before setting: ", obj.get());
obj.set(x);
console.log("after setting" ,obj.get());
//obj.id = "33";
// or
// obj.id.set("33");
//console.log("new id: ", obj.get());

try this, you must get that object before changing its value:

obj.get().id = 33;

Makes sense. But is it safe? Can it be editable from 3rd party tools, or hackers?

here safety depends upon the access, you will provide to obj. Read this to get insight of access modifeir. stackoverflow.com/questions/1958216/…
