It would be better for you to cancel the original booking and rebook it the same flgiht using the orginal fare as credit towards payment of a new fare.
But as per the fare condition,
you cannot re-book and travel on the same day.
Besides, you would need to pay $38.5 itinerary change fee for any changes whether it be flights or dates, so the net beneift is very minimal. The $$ differnece can be used as credit for future QF flights within 12 months.
Hope this helps!
