Yes, they can be but just how often, out of all the thousands of executive orders, have you seen one "overturned"? To place your hopes on that happening is going way out on a limb.

Hundreds have been overturned. Its a very common thing to happen. Executive Orders are actually the easiest type of legislation to reverse.
Often, a newly elected President's first act is to overturn many of their predecessors Executive Orders.
Most politically charged Orders are immediately challenged in court by activist organizations. Many of Biden's orders have been reversed due to this process. Same for Trump, Obama, Bush, etc.
Its also common for Congress to draft legislation overturning Executive Orders, especially when Congress is controlled by a party opposite the President.
