you are going to need a server side technology to put the values in a data base, then the page with the marquee can read the data base and put the values inside of span tags and inside the marquee. Do you know what server side technologies your server supports?

if u are a designer, you could probly create a program that automatically goes to the ftp://blah blah with the admin password and then changes the xml file that is used to display the content inside marquee.
