To retreive a param I use:
$myparam = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_mycomponent')->get('myparam');
But what is the right method to store a component's param?

Many of our component's parameters depend on external conditions, so we need to periodically change them with some overnight processing. Here's the code we use (adapted for use with com_content).
// Load the current component params.
$params = JComponentHelper::getParams('com_content');
// Set new value of param(s)
$params->set('show_title', 1);
// Save the parameters
$componentid = JComponentHelper::getComponent('com_content')->id;
$table = JTable::getInstance('extension');
$table->load($componentid);
$table->bind(array('params' => $params->toString()));
// check for error
if (!$table->check()) {
echo $table->getError();
return false;
}
// Save to database
if (!$table->store()) {
echo $table->getError();
return false;
}
