I want to change setInterval function time when my code is running.

I try this

<script type=text/javascript>

        $(function () {

            var timer;

            function come() { alert(here); }

            timer = setInterval(come, 0);

            clearInterval(timer);

            timer = setInterval(come, 10000);

        });

    </script>

First SetInterval does not work!

You're clearing the interval on the next line, so the first one wont work, as it gets cleared right away :

        timer = setInterval(come, 0);

        clearInterval(timer);

        timer = setInterval(come, 10000);

Also, as gdoron says, setting a interval of nothing isn't really valid, and not a really good idea either, use setTimeout instead, or just run the function outright if no delay is needed.

        come();

        clearInterval(timer);

        timer = setInterval(come, 10000);
