So is this true?

Here's my situation: My wife and I have relatively cheap tickets for this Friday @ 7:30pm. She just found out that she is getting off work at noon instead of 5pm, so I was hoping to take an earlier flight that day and not get into CA late Friday night. Is this going to cost me a boatload of cash?

Sorry for such a noob question, but over the last few years I've only flow on full fare tickets (for work), and when I've changed flights it's been free, but now I am not sure if it was free for everyone or just because I was on the max-price ticket.
