Can a weapon's properties be modified in any way? For example, a Maul is "Heavy" and "Two-Handed". Are there any rules which govern the adding a property (Such as "Reach") or removing a property (like "Two-Handed"). Specifically regarding non-magic weapons off of the base weapon table.

Are you the DM, or a player? I assume you're asking as a player, attempting to do so in-game.

The implication of this question, to me, is that the hypothetical question you're addressing is something like "If I give the Light property to a Longsword, does its damage automatically change to 1d6(1d8) in response? Are there rules that mechanically alter a weapon based on properties added or removed from it?". It might be good to make that point more explicit, so that your answer, pointing out there are no such rules, feels more direct and to the point.

No, there exist no such rules
As written, the combinations of properties, cost, damage dice, weight and weapon category (Simple vs Martial) are all in fixed combination. Any modification to these would technically be a homebrew weapon and may not be balanced. No rules exist referring to changing a property in exchange for another nor in exchange for swapping damage dice.

There is one known way to ignore a weapon trait
And that is with the Crossbow Expert feat, which allows you to ignore the Loading quality of crossbows. This means you can reload a crossbow more than once per turn. Otherwise, there is no known way of ignoring or removing traits in published books so far.
