You would use the set access-rule API call to modify an existing rule.
The exact rule you modify must be by name or UID.
Refer to the API documentation: https😕/sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#cli/set-access-rule~v1.4

If you'd like to "create a section called 'script rules'" you should use add-access-section and not set-access-section
