Yes you can - Same Day Change (when space is available in your fare bucket) or standby (if space is not available in your fare bucket) for $75.

Either can be done online, over the phone, or at the airport within 24 hours of the flight you want and 24 hours of the flight you're currently on.

*G doesn't get a discount on the discounted $75 same day change/standby fee (normal change fees in your ticket are $200+).
