I could be wrong, but every thing I've seen tell me that you can't do this with the current MessageResources API. There is no call for reloading or even modifying values.
I've written a DBMessageResources, and working on XMLMessageResources, there seems to be an cache issue, so (currently) I am not able to modify a value in the database and see the change on the web page, unless the session expires and the user gets a new one. You'll probably want to roll your own and add it as a plugin.....but then this will require changes to your code (undesireable from a component add-on standpoint). Good luck and let me know if you find anything.
