revokable

Able to cancel

Revokable describes something that can be withdrawn, canceled, or annulled.

A revokable trust allows the person who created it to change or dissolve it during their lifetime.

Permissions, licenses, and privileges are often revokable at the discretion of whoever granted them.

The spelling revocable, with a c, is more common in legal and formal contexts, but both forms are standard.
