The right way to manipulate the /proc filesystem is to use the sysctl
program. See "man sysctl".

The /proc filesystem is virtual; it's not on disk, so all your changes
will vanish on reboot.

To make desired changes permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf, or create a
new entry in /etc/sysctl.d (read the README there first).
