angular.element($0).scope() 

// Access whole scope
angular.element(myDomElement).scope();

// Access and change variable in scope
angular.element(myDomElement).scope().myVar = 5;
angular.element(myDomElement).scope().myArray.push(newItem);

// Update page to reflect changed variables
angular.element(myDomElement).scope().$apply();
