Answer
No. Props are immutable and controlled by the parent. Changing them breaks unidirectional data flow.
Quick Answer
No. Props are read-only by design — a component receives them from its parent and must use them as-is. Modifying props would break the data flow and make components unpredictable. If a component needs to change data, it either calls a callback prop (to let the parent update state) or manages that data in its own state.
