This sample code sort-of-works (found here):

url='t3://localhost:7001'
username='weblogic'
password='xxxaaabb'
TargetServerName='AdminServer'
 
#Connect
 
 
appPath='/oracle/soa/mwhome/Oracle_SOA1/soa/connectors/DbAdapter.rar'
planPath='/oracle/soa/mwhome/Oracle_SOA1/soa/DBPlan/Plan.xml'
appName='DbAdapter'
moduleOverrideName=appName+'.rar'
moduleDescriptorName='META-INF/weblogic-ra.xml'
 
 
def makeDeploymentPlanVariable(wlstPlan, name, value, xpath, origin='planbased'):
 while wlstPlan.getVariable(name):
 
 
  while wlstPlan.getVariableAssignment(name, moduleOverrideName, moduleDescriptorName):
   wlstPlan.destroyVariableAssignment(name, moduleOverrideName, moduleDescriptorName)
   
 variableAssignment = wlstPlan.createVariableAssignment(name, moduleOverrideName, moduleDescriptorName)
 variableAssignment.setXpath(xpath)
 variableAssignment.setOrigin(origin)
 wlstPlan.createVariable(name, value)
 
def main():
 
 connect(username,password,url)
 
 edit()
 try:
  startEdit()
  
  myPlan=loadApplication(appPath, planPath)
  
  makeDeploymentPlanVariable(myPlan, 'ConnectionInstance_eis/DB/MyCF_JNDIName_abc123', 'MyCF', '/weblogic-connector/outbound-resource-adapter/connection-definition-group/[connection-factory-interface="javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory"]/connection-instance/[jndi-name="eis/DB/My_CF"]/jndi-name')
  makeDeploymentPlanVariable(myPlan, 'ConfigProperty_xADataSourceName_Value_abc123', 'eis/DB/MyJDBC',                  '/weblogic-connector/outbound-resource-adapter/connection-definition-group/[connection-factory-interface="javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory"]/connection-instance/[jndi-name="eis/DB/MyCF"]/connection-properties/properties/property/[name="xADataSourceName"]/value')
  
  myPlan.save();
  save();
  activate(block='true');
  cd('/AppDeployments/DbAdapter/Targets');
  #updateApplication(appName, planPath);
  redeploy(appName, planPath,targets=cmo.getTargets());
 
 except:
  stopEdit('y')
 
main()

I still feel it's a lot better to generate the Plan.xml from code, copy the XML in the WL domain and update the DbAdapter.rar with

java weblogic.Deployer -adminurl t3://admin-url:admin server port -user adminuser -password password -update -name DbAdapter -plan "db plan location"/DBPlan.xml

or the analogous WLST command.
I simply hate this overcomplicated unreadable code.
