Answer 1

It means changing the data type of the value of the variable. It's called being mutable or immutable

Answer 2

This code changes the variable type 3 times:
num = 8765772

print("hello i am a",type(num),"variable")
print("now i am a",type(str(num)),"variable")
print("now i am a",type(float(num)),"variable")
