It's possible to change temperature value of each biom?
Especially like in topic title.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: temperature is determined by latitude and elevation. Rainfall is determined independently too. Biome is *then* assigned based on these. So if a location is sufficiently wet and cold it will be assigned boreal forest. Drier and it becomes tundra; warmer and it becomes Temperate forest.
Hypothetically it should be possible to modify how it assigns biomes... but I admit I have no idea how it does this.

Actually the way it works is that the world generates temperatures and rainfalls, then the biome is determined from those.
I'm sad to report, however, that this whole process is hardcoded now. There may be a way to inject changes into the process via DLL but it's not exactly straightforward. Sorry.
But what you *can* do is switch <defName>IceSheet</defName> and <defName>BorealForest</defName> in your mod copy of Biomes_Cold.xml so that wherever the game decides to put IceSheets will be really cold, dry, and stuffed with trees, animals that quickly freeze to death, and marshes :)

Thanks. I see it's possible in scenario editor sudden cooling or something x10 or more.

Seems like the average temperature for the year never can go below -10C on Boreal, and -20C on Tundra. I prefer to find maps with an average close to that when I'm starting games with those biomes.
Technically you CAN, but it involves starting a new world. No def messing involved.
New Colony > Scenario Editor > Edit Mode > Add Part > Permanent Map Condition > Climate Cycle.
Climate cycle means that in year 1 the average temperature might be 5C, year 2 14C, year 3 30C, year 4 10C, year 5 -3C in a multi-year cycle.
So you could have the weather patterns of ice sheet and extreme desert in one map.
That's not going to get the temperature down to -100
On an ice sheet, with climate cycle at its lowest point, and with a cold snap... Maybe?
I thought that was what OP meant.
I really like extremely low temperatures. It's awesome challenge. So i try it.
OP wanted a wide temperature range in a boreal forest. Trees are nice to have around :)
