You need to use the setPos command.

If your parachute vehicle is named "chute", then your code could look like the following in a script:

_pos = getPos chute

chute setPos [(_pos select 0), (_pos select 1), (_pos select 2) + x]

OR

chute setPos [(_pos select 0), (_pos select 1), x]

Replace x with some value.

The first method will add (or subtract) from the parachute's current altitude.  The second method will set the parachute's altitude directly to x.

With a little work, you can use this code in a trigger's or waypoint's On Activation field.  For example:

chute setPos [(getPos chute) select 0, (getPos chute) select 1, x]

Good luck.
