I had an idea of several effects that could change the value of cards' CMC you or your opponents own. For instances:
Legions' Inspirer1WW
Creature - Human Cleric (R)
CMC of creatures cards in your graveyard are reduced by one. This effect can't reduce those CMC to less than 1.
[1/3]
Another one: Master Objector1U
Creature - Human Wizard (U)
CMC of spells your opponents cast are reduced by one. This effect can't reduce those CMC to less than 1.
[1/1]
Does it work? Is it possible to reduce or increase CMC regardless of the amount of mana you have to pay to cast a spell, taking into account only the value of the CMC as a figure, not a cost?
In my example with Master Objector, the opponent would still have to pay GGG to cast his Baloth, only its CMC being reduced.
On the same vein, would it be possible to reduce the value of the power/toughness of the creatures in your graveyard this way? Like: "Power of creatures cards in your graveyard are is reduced by one", so that Reveillark could return an Imperial Aerosaur?
This effect works in theory, its main problem would be being misunderstood. It has interesting combo potential but no other potential.You are correct that it wouldn't change the amount of mana spent on cards. There is almost no value in implementing the changes necessary to allow this because it would cause endless confusion with almost no gain. There's no reason for the can't reduce below 1. CMC cards are already fairly uncommon so having things alter that is excessively narrow.

This one allows you to revive an Imperial Aerosaur with a Bishop of Rebirth for example.

This one let you counter an opponent's Leatherback Baloth with a Spell Snare.
