More details about the game would be needed. And for a kind of workaround solution you can just find the value of whatever you are attacking with and max that out.
I've never tried, but i guess you'd need to identify the value by seeing which values change after you hit an enemy, and which one stays constant, but you need to make sure to only use the same attack all the time, or it would not be constant anymore.

That would allow you to decrease the health value of enemies to 1, making it insta kill.

Just use the search over and over with the different weapon values for each weapon you equip until you get only one result. It's not exactly rocket science you know
Also, for 1 hit kill, it's next to impossible without it being a hassle for non-bosses as normal enemies have different values so you will have to do it for every single one of them which can take a LOT of time. For bosses though, just try to find the value through trial and error.
But.. It doesn't tell me how much damage I caused, it's just a bar..Just use the search over and over with the different weapon values for each weapon you equip until you get only one result. It's not exactly rocket science you know
So? The bar is just an indication of numbers. As a guess I'd say it's 100, which even if wrong could still work as some games also use percentage for boss HP, so finding that is a start. Otherwise, just check for all initial values at first, then make one attack, see what changed, next attack, search again to see what changed this time and so on until you only get 1-5 results. Once you got that few, just save all of them to avoid future finding and make each a different value (eg: 1 will be 40, the other 50, the other 60, etc.) and see which of the different values is actually working, then delete the wrong ones from the saved list and keep the one that works, simple.

What do I do if I wait to find a general decreased value? There's no option for that.
There is, something tells me you still haven't grasped how the cheat plugin works, the video demo Nanquitas posted should be enough to get a firm grasp on how it works, also note that some values can be in floats so if you see a weird values pop up, assume it's a float, there are online converters that can help you with the value you want, just search "hex to float" or something like that or just search for floats directly.
General theory of one hit kill cheats
When you attack something in a game there will be an equation that runs to determine what goes. This can vary dramatically between games but good things to look at are enemy HP values, attack ratings for weapons and characters, any debuffs (no ground attack against air sort of thing) or multipliers, hit detection and more.
If you want to make a one hit kill you get to fiddle with those. You can do it with various stats in RAM or you can do it by altering the game's code (which depending upon the system/cheat setup you might also be able to edit in RAM, more classic consoles will want the game genie).
The higher end hacker will probably fiddle with the hit detection aspect as they will probably find that most effective for the effort (if you can edit that then it will work, if you start looking at atk or something you might not get what you want).
The lazy or inexperienced hacker will probably first look at the other things mentioned and pump high or low numbers in there to achieve much the same effect.
I will skip the higher end thing and look more at the lower one.
For enemy HP you will want to find where it stores HP in the memory. Do note that multiple enemies on screen might be handled in multiple locations so to start with you will want to go somewhere where there is just one enemy on screen (or make it so) and start your searches.
Finding HP is a fairly classic cheat (get where you can see and manipulate it, do as little as you can other than to change the health value, search, change the health again, search, change health, search... until you find it or can brute force it. Some will use ineffective weapons, find enemies that regenerate health or have high health such that they don't die before you finish your searches -- while not impossible to go between enemies it is far easier if you have just the one.
Once you have this you probably want to find others for when there are multiple enemies on screen. Typically they will all be either one after the other, of if enemies have more complex stats then the enemy stat tables/entries will be one after the other.
You then will make a cheat of the form if health value is greater than 2 or whatever set it to 1.
Possible problem is if the enemies have a low health behaviour then it will be running all the time. Solution to that is either change that behaviour, use another approach or maybe find the maximum health value (it will tend to be right next to it) and change that as well.
ATK values if you don't want to edit the ROM work much the same. Find where they are located (level up if it is a thing here, equip different weapons, possibly change character order in multiple character parties, Once you find it set a ridiculously high value. If you have a stat based chance to miss then you might have to sort that as well, also even full value ATK might not be enough to one shot a particularly hard character.
Debuffs and multipliers are harder. If there is a way to boost damage do that, figure out where it stores that in memory and set it with a cheat (hopefully it will just be a simple flag in the memory somewhere). Normally we look at this sort of thing for moon jump, monster away/no random battle cheats and
When searching for cheats in most emulators and the like you will be given a few options
Search for specific value (if it says 100 gold you probably have 100 decimal somewhere in memory). Not all things with specific numbers will match but if it does then it makes things far quicker.
Things which changed since last search
Things which did not change since last search
Things below a certain value
Things above a certain value
Things which increased since last time
Things which decreased since last time
Number is between this value and this value (possibly also the reverse of not between this value and this value).
Most of them are fairly obvious. If you are finding HP to make an infinite HP cheat then if specific values don't work then getting hit will lower it, taking a potion will raise it. In the event that it is a float value like mentioned it will trouble the simple search parameters so you will instead have to use the changed/not changed and take a bit longer to narrow things down.

I'm sorry if I seem to come off as ignorant or just dumb, but I just never was able to grasp how to search for a general value, all the options I'm seeing are:
Equal
Not Equal To
Bigger Than
Bigger or Equal
Smaller Than
Smaller or Equal
I don't see a "Decreased" or "Increased" Option
If not sure at all about what the value could possibly be initially, it's much better to start with "Bigger than 0" (or 1) in very first search, then go with the "Smaller Than X" if you have a better grasp on what values it could be or again "Bigger than 0" until you do. For HP, "Bigger than 0" (or 1) will always give you your value, just not only your value, can help narrow it down though. If it's a game that shows damage numbers they can also be very helpful at deciding the max HP. Alternatively, you can either datamine to see the real values for everything (not as hard as you'd think for simple stuff) or look for the datamines online, some games have them (eg: Monster Hunter).
You can datamine to find values? Who would've thought! Where can I find these datamines, or is that something you have to do yourself?
Either do it yourself if you know how or try to look for them online. It's obvious you can get the values from datamining, like HP, attack, etc. for everything, just not the address, but is very easy finding the address if you already know the value.
