Modifying a field in one list when a row in another list is modified in a specific way

Is there a way to change a field on a list if an item is modified on another list in the same site collection? For example, if a choice is made to a row on List A, a field in List B will be set to a specific value. More specifically, If set a status field to pending in one list, a status field in another list will be set to 'in queue' or something like that.

I believe I know how to query the list in order to find the entry I need to update, but I cannot seem to find out how to alter a specific value in that list entry.

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

since new status value you are going to update with doesn't depend on previous value you do not nee to query for item to update upfront.

you can set condition that identifies that item directly in update item action.
