I'm assuming you're getting a bunch of syntax errors:
SQL> create table test1 (Status varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> declare
  2  Status varchar2(02);
  3  begin
  4  Status := '1';
  5  insert into test1 values (case Status
  6                                 when '1' then 'CREATE'
  7                                 when '2' then 'UPDATE'
  8                                 when '3' then 'DELETE'
  9                                 else 'INVALID'
10                            end);
11  end;
12  /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> select * from test1;
