Change color of Pygame Surface

I've made a Rectangle class:

class Rectangle(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, len, x, y, color):
    pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
    self.image = pygame.Surface((len, len), flags=pygame.SRCALPHA)
    # self.image.set_colorkey(Constants.WHITE)
    self.image.fill(color)
    self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
    self.rect.center = (x + len / 2, y + len / 2)
    self.is_blocked = False
    self.x_pos = x
    self.y_pos = y
    self.x = math.floor((x - Constants.PADTOPBOTTOM) / Constants.CELL_SIZE)
    self.y = math.floor((y - Constants.PADLEFTRIGHT) / Constants.CELL_SIZE)

def update(self):
    if self.is_blocked:
       print("is update working?") # it is working. 
       self.image.fill(Constants.GREEN)

And when update() is called I want to change the color of the rectangle to green but it doesn't work. I'm new to pygame and I don't know what to do.

Your problem is that you keep creating new sprites every frame, so when you change the color of one Rectangle to green, it will be covered by a white one.

You do this by calling the fill function (which creates new Rectangle instances) inside the drawGrid function.
