Hi,

i am trying to change the value of the length field(see Screenshot below!) in Wireshark from my dissector script. Is there any way to achieve this via pinfo.cols using LUA ?

You've failed to attach your screenshot.

Why do you need to change the length, Wireshark should dissect what is, not modify things?
