An expression meaning that certain things can be changed, that is: they are not "set in stone".

My comment:

The verb mettre could also be considered.
I do not agree with suggestions like 'ecrit'(write) or 'grave' (inscribe or engrave). What is required here is a word signifying the embedding of an object in stone.
