beginner Tic Tac Toe Game

nbnit (1)
so basically what im trying to do is set the private variable that is printed in the grid function to a value that is specified by the user. I can change any variable i want statically (changing string x in the set_box function) to a user input (string y), but i'd like to let the user input two strings, the first to identify a variable, and a second to specify what you want the identified variable to be set equal to.

it seems like there should be a really easy way to do this, but i just cant think of it. im pretty new to programming and this forum, so i apologize if this question is either ignorant, or misplaced.
thanks
