You can do this:

$('select option').each(function() {
    $(this).attr('selected', this.dataset.sigla == dados.uf);
});

In this way, you compare the% w / o% of each% w / o% and if the value is the same as% w / o% it gives% w / o to the selected attribute.

I saw now that you edited the question and you took dataset.sigla of the question ... so with native JavaScript you can do this:

var dados = {
    uf: 'DF'
};
var options = [].slice.call(document.querySelectorAll('option'));


function select(str) {
    options.forEach(function(option) {
        if (option.dataset.sigla == str) option.setAttribute('selected', 'selected');
        else option.removeAttribute('selected');
    });
}

select(dados.uf);
