Drop the spaces around = and introduce the $(...) construct.
var=$(awk '{print $1}' file1)
echo $var

Change var = awk '{print $1}' file1
to
var = `awk '{print $1}' file1`

With that awk statement, what are you trying to achieve ? Get the value of $var or print the field denoted by $var ?

To print to a file, you can

Code:
echo "$var" > my.file
