JobControl isn't intended to "modify" a job.  From the documentation:

    The HylaFAX configuration  parameter JobControlCmd specifies the
    script that is used to apply per-job controls on job characteristics
    such as the time-of-day to place a call.

And it lists the parameters that may be specified on a per-job basis:
       Tag                   Type       Default      Description
       MaxConcurrentCalls    integer    1            max concurrent jobs to process for a destination
       MaxDials              integer    unlimited    max phone calls to make to transmit a job
       MaxSendPages          integer    unlimited    max pages to permit in a send
       MaxTries              integer    3            max attempts to transmit a job
       Modem                 string     Any          ModemGroup to use for destination
       RejectNotice          string     -            rejection notice for transmit job
       TimeOfDay             string     Any          default time-of-day restrictions
       VRes                  integer    -            Vertical resolution
       UseXVRes              integer    -            Usage of extended resolutions

And states:
    In addition to the above parameters, any other parameters that are
    specified are automatically  accumulated and passed to programs
    invoked by faxq, such as faxsend and pagesend.  This is a convenient
    mechanism for defining configuration parameters for all modems
    without having to modify each modem-specific configuration file.
    For example, SessionTracing: 0x4f
