How to change attribute value

Question

My "view" button has the following element:

<a href="../a/stutransDet.php?sid=23" style="text-decoration: none;  FONT-SIZE: 1.0em;  color:black" target="">View Grade</a>

I selected the "view" button like this

view = driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td/table/tbody/tr[2]/td1/div[5]/a")
a = view.get_attribute('href')   # www.abc.com/a/stutransDet.php?sid=23

What I want is that I'll change the "href" of "view" so that when I click the "view" button, it will redirect to

 www.abc.com/a/stutransDet.php?sid=33

instead of

www.abc.com/a/stutransDet.php?sid=23

Is this possible? this answer didn't work for me

Include in your code what did you try to do and why it didn't work for you. — Giorgos Myrianthous, Oct 06 '18 at 13:27
@Giorgos I tried ".replace" method that didn't work. Can you provide how to do that? My pc got stuck (ubuntu 18.04 problem) so couldn't write the code. — Nitesh Tosniwal, Oct 06 '18 at 14:33

Try below solution to update @href value:

driver.execute_script('arguments[0].href = "www.abc.com/id=12";', view)
