I am actually trying to mod a game but I need to re-write the settings of the executable. How would I able to do that? Is there any trace function on cheat engine where I can find out a log on which address has been called or written?

Best bet is trying a stringsearch for the internal name of thing you're looking for and then look around the memory manually if you can recognize the value you want.
Only works if it's a heavily scripted game

The only way I can think of (making the memory inaccessible) is too slow as as even the stack itself is written to on every single function call and temporary variables. The game would slow down to 0.00001Frame a day


But next version(if you have the required cpu) you will have a trace function where you get a log of every single instruction that got executed and how many times.
It won't help you find the variable you're looking for, but you might get an idea on where to place a hook
