if what you are asking is how do you get a command to return a variable that is equal to the current free cargo space of ship, then the script command you are looking for is:
<retvar>= <ship> -> get free volume of cargo bay
this script command can be found under "Trade Commands" then "For Ships" i think, within the script editor. if the <retvar> were set to the variable of $freeSpace and <ship> were directed to target your current ship, then this command would set the variable $freeSpace to the current amount of free cargo space in the ship you are flying. the question at this point would be what do you want to do with this value? write it to your logbook? am i, in fact, reading your question wrong?
look at the MSCI handbook which can be found here. lots of easy to read info on scripting in this thread.
you can alter a ships stats through the Tships file, but it will change all of the same type of ships as well. you can find more info on altering ships in my link above, but i think what you are looking for is here. not for the faint of heart!
