I often see these overnights, too, and usually the cost of the hotel makes them not cost effective. Plus, even if you could change to a same-day flight and get rid of the overnight, your hotel is usually outside a 24 hr (if that) cancellation window.

But if you can do it (change to an earlier all the same day connection) I'd like to know about it, too.
