In California is it legal to lower one's hourly pay?

My supervisor recently dropped my pay from 7.75 to 7.50 over an arguement that we had. I was also on the verge of recieving a raise, to 8.00 an hour. Is this legal in California?

Sure is. He can also fire you.

You bet. There's no guarantee about your pay rate other then that it has to meet the minimum wage. Raises are also not guaranteed, they are a reward for excellent performance.

Yep. As long as they aren't paying you lower than minimum wage. You can always quit and find another job.
