C language: how to write a function to change the value of the pointer parameter passed in

 #include<stdio.h>
 int source =1;
 int* cope_adress(int *a)
 {
    
    
    a=&source;
 }
 int main()
 {
    
    
     int b=2;
     int *purposes;
     printf("source  address  is  %p\n",&source);
     purposes=&b;
     cope_adress(purposes);
     printf("cope_adress  is  %p\n",purposes);
 
 }

It seems that only the function parameter is the address of the variable used in the function body can be assigned successfully.
