Hope this helps:

# To update the value in the list
test["poop"]["okay"][0] = 20

# Replaces the list altogether
test["poop"]["okay"] = 20

You just need to use square brackets to perform a look up on each level, then once you’re at the 10 you can update it.

>>> test = {"poop":{"okay":[10]}}
>>> test
{'poop': {'okay': [10]}}

>>> test['poop']
{'okay': [10]}

>>> test['poop']['okay']
[10] # note that this is a list w/ 1 element

>>> test['poop']['okay'][0]
10

# put it all together, let's add 10 to the value
>>> test['poop']['okay'][0] += 10
>>> test
{'poop': {'okay': [20]}}
