In order to validly change a Will, you must execute a Codicil (or an Amendment) to your Will. It must be signed using the same formalities that you would use for signing a Last Will.
Do not write on your Will, as it will be invalidated.
No, you cannot just change it like that. You need to create a new will and have it executed according to state law. Make sure that it is self-proving too. Please feel free to contact me if you need legal help with this. You should also make sure you have a living will and power of attorney. Regards,
