When you say 'doesn't work', what do you mean? If what you mean is
"Doesn't change the displayed feature", then the reason is 'because the
feature is already drawn'. If you zoom in, it will probably change.

I'll also point out that I highly recommend *not* styling your features
this way: OpenLayers styling framework is powerful, and should probably
be used in place of manual styling.
