Can a probated will be changed?

No.  A Will is probated after death.  Dead people cannot execute legal documents.

Can a probated will be changed?
 
As JudyKayTee said, no.  Of course not.
 
But I am wondering, as the answer is so obvious, whether OP meant something else.  
 
For example:
 
If the will was admitted to probate, and it's later discovered that the testator wrote a later will, it is possible to ask that the later will be admitted in substitution for the earlier will.

Is the word you want 'contest'?

And a will can be contested while it is in probate, but once it is final and one,  normally it can not be contested.
