You are correct, it is a base64 encoded string. And yes, you can modify the contents, but that would of course change the base64 string also, thus you would see the difference.
The base64 is not done for security, but for removing the plaintext contents of the variable. Via the base64 we get a clean a-zA-Z0-9 string from it.
