yes, the const means that the variable cannot be assigned a new value. The value can be changed by other code or pointer. For example the following program works fine.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
const volatile int local = 10;
int* ptr = (int*)&local;
printf("Initial value of local : %d \n", local);
*ptr = 100;
printf("Modified value of local: %d \n", local);
return 0;
}
