I've created small sample. If you have any questions regarding this code, please add comments.

EDIT: updated sample based on great comment by Marc Gravell

class Program
{
    public int? NullableProperty { get; set; }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var value = "123";
        var program = new Program();
        var property = typeof(Program).GetProperty("NullableProperty");

        var propertyDescriptors = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(Program));
        var propertyDescriptor = propertyDescriptors.Find("NullableProperty", false);
        var underlyingType =  
            Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(propertyDescriptor.PropertyType);

        if (underlyingType != null)
        {
            var converter = propertyDescriptor.Converter;
            if (converter != null && converter.CanConvertFrom(typeof(string)))
            {
                var convertedValue = converter.ConvertFrom(value);
                property.SetValue(program, convertedValue, null);
                Console.WriteLine(program.NullableProperty);
            }
        }

    }
}
