Short answer? Variables in XSLT are write once only so you can't change the value after the initial assignment.

"The best way to think about an xsl:param or an xsl:variable element is that once you associate a parameter with a name and content, that element is immutable;"

I have been asked to develop code to initialize a variable and to then reset it within a looping structure with XSLT 1.0.

What I understand from your comment - that is in not possible ?
