I understand that front panel is provided in the CLD exam. Can I change the data representation if I think it is necessary/more convinient for my purpose? e.g. change i32 into u32 or double...

I'll amplify a bit on the absolutely correct advice Fisel supplied. Do Not mess with any supplied FP object properties except Description & Tip (DO Add them!) and, of course, Value. Its pointless to have a FP object whos value does not change right?
Now, IF you do find an idea where a supplied FP object's property is less desireable than you want (very possilbe and a common real-world problem) Comment it! Something like "#Clarify with client. A change of property X would be advantagous for <Reason>" Thats just good client communication! Not a bad skill for a CLD to have.

Also "Yes" but comment why.
As a general rule "Do not mess with provided FP Objects except documentation- unless you comment WHY you messed with them or would prefer to mess with them"
And, if you do type def a control / indicator, Flipping change the default icon! Yes, that is a pet peeve of mine, default icons for type-def controls! Damn, I've seen 10+ year CLAs screw that up! and "View>>Browse Relationships>>Unopened Type Defs. becomes a quagmire.
