Select the value you want to change. For instance, when you open a new game of Plants vs. Zombies, you see you have only 25 suns.

Enter the new value in Cheat Engine. For example, enter 25 in the Hex field and click "First Scan." You'll get a lot of data in the table at left marked "Address" and "Value."

See the value change inside the game. For instance, when you pick up another sun in Plants vs. Zombies, your energy will be 100.
