dont create new memory object .. instead just assign instance cost = script.Parent.Cost and then add to your code cost.Value

Make sure the parent of the script is TextButton and the script is LocalScript not normal script, nor ModuleScript.

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function(buy)
	local Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
	local gold = Plr.leaderstats.Cash
	local cost = script.Parent.Cost
	local getItem = game.Lighting.Tool -- Your Tool Location
	
	if gold.Value >= cost.Value then 
		gold.Value = gold.Value - cost.Value
		getItem:Clone().Parent = Plr.Backpack
		cost.Value = 0
		wait(1)
	end
	
	-- Other Coding
end)

Other then that GOOD2GO

When you set script.Parent.Cost.Value to a variable, it only set the current value to that variable. When you set cost = 0, you changed only the value of the variable, not Cost.Value.

To change Cost.Value, you must do it directly

Cost.Value = --whatever value you want

Hopefully this is what you are looking for. If you just wanted to change the variable cost, it's as simple as what you already have

cost = 12345 -- or whatever number you want

For the variable, do "script.Parent.Cost" then everytime you use the variable, do Cost.Value. Just change the Cost value to 0 to answer your question.

Y'all did him dirty... cost is a number value, not an object..
