The example I gave is creating a MultiStatus
that wraps a given status that could be either a multistatus or a status.
However, to consider both cases, the code could be changed to 

IStatus status = peformAction();
if (!status.isOk()) { 
    MultiStatus result = new MultiStatus(MyPlugin.ID, MyConstants.ERROR_CODE,
"My error message", null); 
    result.merge(status); 
    return result; 
} 

The MutliStatus#merge method will add
all the children of status to the result if status is a MultiStatus

Of course you can set the message of a Status at runtime. However, it can
only be set when the status object is created. Once a ststus has been created
the message cannot be changed. If you think about it, this makes sense.
Why do you want to set the message of an IStatus? Typically what is done
when catching errors and propogating them to a client is that the status
is added as a child of a  MultiStatus. You could do somthing like
this. 

IStatus status = peformAction(); 
if (!status.isOk()) { 
    MultiStatus result = new MultiStatus(MyPlugin.ID, MyConstants.ERROR_CODE,
"My error message", null); 
    result.add(status); 
    return result; 
}

You can only set the message when creating an instance of IStatus (see
org.eclipse.runtime.Status and org.eclipse.runtime.MultiStatus).
