Download the latest version of AJAX tools (its free) and study the section on CRUD...that is the best way to learn data manipulation through s-controls...

This is very common to other s-controls we have built for our clients.
 
A simple solutions is to build an inline s-control on your lead that queries related tasks for one where a subject = "Call" and if found updates the lead status.  I recommend you add an if statement at the beginning to make sure that the s-control only runs when that status has not already been updated, this will also allow you to optionally refresh the page upon update.
 
The main issue with this type of s-control is that it runs every time you view the lead rather than when you actually create the task.  A more precise but complex solution would be to create an s-control that displays a custom new task form that when saved both creates the task and updates the lead.
