Generally speaking, the 50g's standard menus are defined in ROM and can't be edited. As such, altering specific menus such as 96 (statistical submenus) or 103 (sums submenu) isn't possible.

What is possible, however, is creating your own custom menu. Rather than trying to explain it all here, I would refer you to the HP 50g User's Guide, which has an entire chapter dedicated to this topic (along with custom key assignments -- "Chapter 20: Customizing menus and keyboard"). This explains how to create your own custom soft-menu, which can be activated at any time by simply pressing two keys on your calculator (left-shift MODE, or CUSTOM). It's also possible to have multiple custom menus by selectively storing CST variables in various subdirectories of HOME.

Custom menus can even be created "on the fly" within a program (see MENU and TMENU). Custom menus are very flexible, and they allow full customization of both the labels shown and the actions taken when the soft-key is pressed.
