Is it still there (the statue) when you re-open the LE? You need to be sure and save twice, once in the main editor and also in the one the opens very first.
You'll need to use a hex editor to get at the event code, windhex works nice, as does HxD. There's a bunch of threads and tutorials here that will help you learn how to go about it, search for 'event', o check the tutorial section. This is the ever important document you are going to need though that enables you to search for events & offsets:

(it's at the bottom of the page, labeled as EventDisasm.zip)
Yeah you can just leave him (Odin statue) there if you want, and go in and change the event easily.
I keep forgetting about Zone Doctor...

It's a better version of the LE basically that allows for event editing! If that's your cup of tea, I much prefer working in the hex. Seems his page is down though =/
Also, last time I used it there were many crashes it seemed not to be stable yet.
Anyways, I thought I'd inform you of it's existence non the less.
We are born, live, die and then do the same thing over again.
