I understand the basic functions of Cheat Engine, but whenever i restart the game or program the changed setting are no longer there. How would i modify a stat and keep it without having to run Cheat Engine every time?

The reason why the changes you make in the Cheat Engine disassembler do not persist is because you are changing the values you find in RAM, while every time you restart it, take the original game file from the hard disk and reload it to RAM.
To make it persistent you have to patch the exe file, it's something you can do with a debugger like OllyDbg, x64dbg, IDA pro, etc...

A very similar question that was asked long ago: https://forum.cheatengine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5757583#5757583

Could you PM me please? I am in a very similar situation and no one is responding to my post.
