Yes. There is no requirement to notify beneficiaries.

As long as the maker is competent and has not been unduly influenced by someone, a Will can always be changed. If a spouse is going to be disinherited, be mindful that most states have laws that provide some protection for a spouse, so complete elimination of a spouse in a Will might not assure total disinheritance.
