The requirements to run for President are listed in the Constitution. I don’t know if states can have separate requirements.

There is no Constitutional requirement that California holds an election for President. The state legislature is free to allocate its electors as it sees fit.

California doesn’t allow write-ins on its general election ballots. Don’t know if that applies to the Presidential ballot.
