How to modify sp(r13), lr(r14) and pc (r15) as they cannot be directly read (inline assembly) keil

I want to change sp,lr and pc register values. I am using nucleo l476xx board. It has arm m4 processor. I read it here http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/armcc/armcc_chr1359124249383.htm {No variables are declared for the sp (r13), lr (r14), and pc (r15) registers, and they cannot be read or directly modified in inline assembly code.}

Please tell me how I can do that. I am doing it for the purpose of creating checkpoints.

??????????????

As stated in the docs, these registers are special and cannot be modified during runtime. Only way of manipulating would be using an external debugger.

I have figure out the answer. I can modify these registers using external assembly code.
