Since Parallels Plesk Panel 8 SOA record can be managed per-domain at Domains > domain.tld > DNS Settings > SOA record and in DNS template for new domains at Server > DNS Settings > SOA record.

In previous Parallels Plesk Panel versions it is possible to change the TTL, Refresh, Retry, Expire, and Minimum values by adding the following parameters to the 'misc' table in the 'psa' database:

SOA_TTL
SOA_Refresh
SOA_Retry
SOA_Expire
SOA_Minimum

If these parameters are absent, the default settings will be used. Example:

mysql> INSERT INTO misc VALUES ('SOA_TTL','86400');

After adding the records to Plesk database it is needed to rebuild all of the domain zone files by running the following command:

~# mysql -Ns -uadmin -p`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` -D psa -e 'select name from dns_zone' | awk '{print "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/dnsmng update " $1 }' | sh

Is it possible to change the SOA record values in domain zone files?
