Narrative: On the KORRY 4 arrival into LGA; ATC issued a clearance to cross RIDGY at F270. The autopilot was engaged; in VNAV mode; and on profile for the KORRY 4 arrival fixes; but the actual procedure is published to cross RIDGY above F270; displayed in the FMS as '300/27000A.' I failed to edit the STAR procedure to delete the 'A' which caused the aircraft to fly the procedure as published; that is; to cross RIDGY above F270.The Washington Center Controller informed us when we were 8 miles from RIDGY that 'next time; let's cross RIDGY at F270; next time; listen up.' Then he handed us off to the next controller.I intervened and deployed the speed brakes and steepened the descent. We almost made the crossing; but missed RIDGY by 8 miles after we passed the fix. We then resumed the STAR as published.Identification: We were made to be aware of the situation by the ATC controller and then immediately intervened with the automation to correct the error.Cause: I neglected to change the published STAR procedure to the amended instructions given by the controller.Response: Intervention with automation to attempt to comply with clearance.Suggestions: Follow the standard procedure to brief the STAR and any changes issued by ATC should be crosschecked with the published procedure.
