I would like to know if it is possible to define a loop in a lambda
function....

How to manage the indents ? Example :
s_minus_1 = lambda s : for index in range(0, len(s)) : s[index] = s
[index]-1

You can't. lambda is just a way to define a short, inline, anonymous function, and its body can only contain expressions, not statements.

Even if what you want were legal, giving a name to the resulting expression kind of defeats the purpose of lambda - use a normal function instead:

def s_minus_1(s):
  "document usage here"
  for index,item in enumerate(s):
    s[index] -= 1
