For a United operated flight you can certainly ask to stand by for an earlier one. Fr a partner operated one you are subject to their rules. As your profile indicates you are a UA 1k, you are allowed free award changes and no close-in fees. So, you could call UA and ask them to change your flight - if the earlier flight is available as a UA award.
