Are there any possibilities to dynamically change the static content?
I have data in the DataStorage, while most of the HTML/CSS/JavaScript content and various templates (for StringTemplate) are during the servlet deployment copied to static file server. The problem is that none content is purely static – e.g. when customer asks for new icon or change on web page I have to re-deploy the whole servlet, sometimes only because of tiny changes in static HTML.
Is there any ‘FTP like’ storage or other better way how to put the static content on GAE?

No. Generally people redeploy the entire war. Also be aware that the cdn for appengine is sometimes over zealous about caching and there is no way to manually flush it so if your CSS and JavaScript are changing it may take 10-15 minutes to expire. We sometimes append build numbers to those assets if there is a risk of breaking things.
