Hi,
Are there things you can change on a ranked beatmap without it losing ranked status?
Like changing the picture or adding tags?

why does this even matter

any way you change a map without changing its ranked status will have absolutely no effect on the playability of the map itself. And yes you can change the picture but not the tags

you can change or delete the background picture, add a storyboard(and maybe a video as well? not sure), but pretty much everything in the .osu files themselves apart from editor-specific info(snap divisor, timeline zoom, etc.) can not be changed on your side only without needing to update it to the online version.

take note of the "custom storyboard" part. it can definitely be abused, but i'm not sure if anyone actually does it

what could you possibly storyboard that would make the map easier

you're not very creative.

approach circles for ar11, long lasting hitcircles for HD(any AR), any other elements that would change the way you read a map to remove some of the difficulty for it.

You can try searching for 'giga' instead. Or 'star stream'. I do that a lot to find maps at which I absolutely fking suck.

You can change some stuff in the folder of the song. Deleting hitsounds/backgrounds/videos would probably be the main uses.

Modifying the storyboard to aid you in flashlight or AR11 is cheating according to Peppy even if nothing prevents you from doing so

you can create a new difficulty and keep the objects

that won't do anything considering you can't see anything anyway. followpoints basically do just that anyway, except for a few circumststances. and if you're gonna cheat with fl there are obviously easier alternatives lol
