can a sacrificed creature have its power and toughness be changed by an instant?
i have a 20/20 creature and i cast Rite of consumption can my opponent change the power or toughness with shrink to lower the amount of damage that will be dealt
No. Sacrificng the creature is part of the cost of casting the Rite, so the creature is dead before you as the player who cast the spell, let along any other player, gets priority to respond to the spell. The creature is not a legal target for Shrink at that point, because it doesn't exist anymore.
