  What does static have to do with changing something? You were
confusing it with const, perhaps? An object declared static has 3
special properties:

1) duration from the time the program starts until it finishes,
2) initialisation to 0 (zero) by default, and
3) visability within:
   a) a function if defined within the function, or
   b) the translation unit (C source file, module) in which it is
defined if defined outside of any functions.
