MODIFY is a clause used within an ALTER statement, such as ALTER TABLE, ALTER INDEX or ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW, etc. That is, MODIFY isn't a command by itself.
For example, you might change the length of a text column in a table with the following:
ALTER TABLE employee MODIFY (email_address VARCHAR(132));
Use the ALTER SESSION statement to specify or modify any of the conditions or parameters that affect your connection to the database. The statement stays in effect until you disconnect from the database. Use the ALTER SYSTEM statement to dynamically alter your Oracle instance. The settings stay in effect as long as the database is mounted. Ankit Kapse
