void doMeHard() const{

std::string request="do me";
request="do me hard";

Yes. Wouldn't make much sense if you couldn't, would it now ?!

It only applies to member variables, not to variables declared inside the
function itself.

.... and it applies only to non-mutable member variables:

class MyClass
{
int a;
mutable int b;
void foo() const
{
a++; // this will not compile
b++; // this will work
}
};
