You could delete or empty the marker and replace it with a similar one with different text.    The similar one is stored somewhere type empty while it is not being used.

Presumably this is for MP.    I don't know much about MP but I believe scripts are local:    probably you could run a script on each computer that checks the side of the local player and displays/hides markers accordingly.     But don't quote me on that.

Or place the changed one waayy of the map
And then store the getpos result in a varable..
Delete the marked
And setpos the changed marker to the position you stored in a varable

I think the idea about checking if the person running the script is right.. I'm not that good at MP script at all either though ::)
