Hi Sandrine,

With regards to your question:
Action 1=> I want to change a Technical field value (can I do it in is before)
Comment: 
Yes, any change/update on the same object can be made from before trigger event without using DML statement. 

Action 2=> call an API (should I call in a future method ?)
Comment:
Yes, it is mandatory
Please refer the below link for more details
