An initiative can modify statues Statutes. Any strong hammer can modify a statue. But seriously, yes, statute law or the state Constitution can be modified by initiative. The latter requires more qualifying signatures than the former, but once it's on the ballot, simple majority is all it takes. But the status of cities also involves the city's charter (not all cities are charter cities, but most major ones are).
