You need to return:

condition = True
def set_false(con):
   return False
condition = condset_false(condition)
print(condition)

Output:

False

Try:

condition = True
def set_false(con):
    con = False
    return con
condition = set_false(condition)
print(condition)

OR

condition = True
def set_false():
    global condition
    condition = False
set_false()
print(condition)
