A service is a service. It is an application that runs in background.
If you want to store something "in it" you need to modify the code.
But there is no "in it", as the service is an application, it is can be made of many kind of files. So you can have a configuration or data file aside the executable that you modify.
Or you can use the registry to store the value. If you speak about a runtime parameter, than the registry (HKLM) is the place for it.
