found this in a post here: http://www.mrtsql.com/2011/03/powershell-updating-analysis-services.html

See if this function in that post helps you out.

function UpdateDataSources()
{
   # Lets get our server name
   $SSASServerName="$env:ComputerName\" + $SSASInstanceName
   $MyConnection = New-Object("Microsoft.AnalysisServices.Server")
   $MyConnection.Connect($SSASServerName)
   # lets return the number of data sources
   [int]$DataSourcecount=$MyConnection.Databases[$DatabaseName].DataSources.count
   for ($count=0; $count -ne $DataSourcecount;++$count)
   {
     $MyCS=$MyConnection.Databases[$DatabaseName].DataSources[$count].ConnectionString
    $NewCS=setNewValue -MyCS $MyCS -Pattern "Data Source=" -ReplaceWith $DataSourceServer

     if ($PW.Length -ne 0)
     {
        $NewCS=setNewValue -MyCS $NewCS -Pattern "Password=" -ReplaceWith $PW
     }
     if ($UserName.length -ne 0)
     {
        $NewCS=setNewValue -MyCS $NewCS -Pattern "User ID=" -ReplaceWith $UserName
     }
     $MyConnection.Databases[$DatabaseName].DataSources[$count].ConnectionString=$NewCS
     # write the change back to SSAS
     $MyConnection.Databases[$DatabaseName].DataSources[$count].update()

     write-output $NewCS
     }
}
