You can use setAttribute DOM Element method:

element.setAttribute("value","opaque");

So your code without jQuery should be like:

document.querySelector("param[name='wmode']").setAttribute("value","opaque");

Your code is right, probably param is a class not an element

$(".param[name=wmode]").attr("value","opaque");

You can set attribute of any element by using setAttribute function. In your case it will be

document.getElementById('myelement').setAttribute('name', 'My_Element');

Thanks
