What are some scenarios where self-modifying code is useful?

malware

Modify how? Like the ransomware that injected IL at runtime or a python program that modifies its useless text?

As in overriding its own assembly instructions

genetic algorithm, encryption/decryption. cheats

Look up the Wheeler Jump, though it's obsolete by now it was very useful on machines with no hardware stack back in the day.
