If I understand your question correctly, no, your father's wife cannot change his will. Is your father still alive?

Your question implies that your father's new wife got him to sign a new will, probably made by her attorney, leaving everything to her. If this is the case, then you should review the situation with a trusts and estates attorney. It may be possible to challenge the validity of this will on the basis of your father's lack of capacity or his wife's undue influence.
