Joseph is right. Regular expression matching is already tough enough
to not try to do it expandably (besides, that would become
unreasonably slow, and would break in corner cases). What you seem to
be trying can be done as follows instead:

    \regex_match:nnTF {o} {o}
      { \xdef\foo{0,0} }
      { \xdef\foo{1,1} }
