Data stored in CMOS can be altered using a CMOS editor program. CMOS commonly stores the computer's BIOS and its content can be changed using the inbuilt BIOS settings utility.

List some ways to change the information in the CMOS
By accessing the setup program stored in ROM BIOS.
The data is CMOS is on a chip called RAM. RAM will lose data when it loses power. A small battery on the motherboard is used to keep continuous power to CMOS when the PC loses power.

Actually it's "SCMODS" not cmos and is an acronym for "State County Municipal Offender Data System"
ram is a computer data storage
By entering the CMOS setup you are able to change the boot sequence of your computer, enable or disable RAID, and change power-on settings. The CMOS setup also allows you to view and change floppy, hard drive, and optical drive settings, as well as change a number of other hardware configuration options.

CMOS Setup The BIOS is the name of the ROM Chip that holds all the data about how to start the computer up, and perform POST,Power On Self Test etc. And the CMOS was a software located on the BIOS Chip that enabled a UI for one to change the BIOS settings, ie like time, date, other settings.
The BIOS saves data on a CMOS chip that is still volatile like other memory, but it is typically powered by a CR2032 button battery. If this battery fully discharges or is removed, the data stored in CMOS is lost and the BIOS settings will automatically be reset to default.
To access and modify the CMOS data, you would need a CMOS setup utility. Originally, in the IBM AT and a few close clones, it required a separate utility on a diskette. However, manufacturers soon added this utility the the ROM BIOS. So even today, all you have to do is enter CMOS setup is to press a certain day upon booting the system. Delete, F1, and F2 are some of the common keys to use for entering the CMOS setup utility.
