Hi, :h quote= states:

,----
| 6. Expression register "=                     *quote_=* *quote=* *@=*
| This is not really a register that stores text, but is a way to use an
| expression in commands which use a register.  The expression register is
| read-only; you cannot put text into it.  After the '=', the cursor moves to
`----

However, one can use :let @= = '"foobar"' and also
:call setreg('=', '"foobar"')

That documentation should be adjusted, since there is even a test for 
that feature.

Best,
Christian
