I have posted a similar solution for the same problem,

visit How to use javascript to set attribute of selected web element using selenium Webdriver using java?

Here First we have find the element in my case I have found the element using xpath then we have traverse through the list of elements and then We have cast the driver object to the Executor object and create a script here the first argument is the element and second argument is the property and the third argument is the new value

List<WebElement> unselectableDiv = driver
                .findElements(By.xpath("//div[@class='x-grid3-cell-inner x-grid3-col-6']"));

        for (WebElement element : unselectableDiv) {

            // System.out.println( "**** Checking the size of div "+unselectableDiv.size());

            JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;

            String scriptSetAttr = "arguments[0].setAttribute(arguments[1],arguments[2])";

            js.executeScript(scriptSetAttr, element, "unselectable", "off");

            System.out.println(" *****   check value of Div property " + element.getAttribute("unselectable"));

        }

If you re using the PageFactory pattern or already have a reference to your WebElement  then you probably want to set the attribute  using your existing reference to the WebElement   Rather than doing a document getElementById      in your javascript   The following sample allows you to set the attribute  using your existing WebElement reference   Code Snippet  import org openqa selenium WebElement  import org openqa selenium remote RemoteWebDriver  import org openqa selenium support FindBy   public class QuickTest        RemoteWebDriver driver        FindBy id    foo       private WebElement username       public void exampleUsage RemoteWebDriver driver            setAttribute username   attr    10            setAttribute username   value    bar               public void setAttribute WebElement element  String attName  String attValue            driver executeScript  arguments 0  setAttribute arguments 1   arguments 2                       element  attName  attValue
