Way to change plugin options with a button on page?

I am using the feature carousel function and I would like to add a pause/play button. is there a way to change the "autoPlay:200" option to "autoPlay: 0" when I click a button on my page?  Here is the script in my html page that calls the plug in:

  1.     <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function() {
                $("#featureCarousel").featureCarousel({
                    topPadding: 10,
                    sidePadding: 5,
                    autoPlay: 200,
                    counterStyle: 1
               });
            });
        </script>
