A call CAN legally be changed by the responsible official. It's been done many times, and will continue to be done. It's specifically addressed by the General Instructions to Umpires, and more recently supported by NCAA's stress to attempt to get the call correct over umpire image.

I cannot speak to NCAA rules, but LL has a very specific set of appealable calls (missed bases, etc...) and this is not one of them. This falls under the area of a judgement call and is not appealable. If you make the call, you have to live with it, otherwise you will be questioned on every situation which comes up from that point on.
