So indirectly you want to edit the metadata, Through metadata API i think you will be able to edit the picklist values by using updateMetadata() call. for reference please go through below link.

Hi Pankaj,

You can do the same by using SFDC Meta Data API.

Yes, you can achieve this.

- You need expose a web service from PHP website.
- Consume that web service in SFDC.
- Every time you load a VF page containing that picklist, controller make a callout to web service and get picklist values.

Hope it works.
