    Probated will
    Can a probated will be changed?

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

    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.
