Yes, a temporary order can be changed on essentially any issue before the court. You would need to file a motion for further temporary orders or a motion for reconsideration, depending on the issue. However, they're usually difficult to change, especially if there are no significant changes since the last date. You may want to run your case by an attorney.

You can change a temporary order, but it requires a Motion be made to the court to reconsider or change the order. However, getting them changed is difficult.

If you do not have an attorney, I would recommend you get one.
