Is it even possible to access an Instance's property via string?
For an example, I want to set the Humanoid's WalkSpeed, I could just do this.
1 | hum.WalkSpeed = 100 |
But what if, a player sends a string to the server and want the server to set a certain property for the player?
For an example:
1 | local stringReceived = "WalkSpeed" |
2 |
3 | plrhum.stringReceived = 100 |
Still don't know how can I be able to do it. Or is it impossible?

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.
server script
1 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeHum -- The Event |
2 |
3 | event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr,property,num) -- the fired function that gave the property and number from localscript |
4 | plr.Character.Humanoid[property]=num |
5 | end) |
local script
1 | local event = game.ReplicatedStorage.ChangeHum -- The Event |
2 |
3 | event:FireServer("WalkSpeed",1000) -- gives the property and number |

you honestly don't even need the wait(1) on the Server Event, there's an automatic delay in using the remote event (albeit a short one) SerpentineKing 3885 — 6y

Yes. obj.index is sugar for obj["index"]. However the former only works if it is a valid identifier. obj.+]^} is not a valid identifier. It must therefore be indexed with square brackets. obj["+]^}"].
plrhum[stringReceived] is how you would do it.
