Notecards are tied to a UUID. When you edit a notecard, it creates a new 
UUID for each new version of the notecard. It's rumored someone at LL 
decided to prevent a continuous (and possible abusive) creation of new 
UUIDs for each version of a notecard by simplly not implementing the LSL 
command to write to notecards.

If you need a DB like storage, just write a listener/sender LSL-program 
to store values in memory. One LSL program is good for 8K of memory 
(actually more than that is available, but you'll need room to copy 
arrays around to avoid a script crash).
