Does assembly code when used(linked) in a c project ignore const keyword declared before C datatypes and functions?? And can it modify the contents of the datatypes??

Yes, the const keyword is utterly ignored by assembly code.
And can it modify the contents of the datatypes??
If the compiler was able to place a const location in a read-only segment, then assembly code trying to modify it will cause a segmentation fault. Otherwise, unpredictable behavior will result, because the compiler may have optimized parts of the code, but not others, under the assumption that const locations were not modified.
