I want to change a control value on the front panel by pressing a keyboard button, how can I do it? 

To do that, you need to do a key binding in Labview: right click on the control on the front panel, then click on Advanced, and then Key Navigation.
Once in the Key Navigation window, you can choose the keyboard button to associate, for instance in the following image the F1 value has been associated to the boolean control.
