I think it was more like Bran was warging into young Hodor while in the past, which brought the present-day Hodor's memories, experiences, and sensations flooding into young Hodor...which is why it fries his brain, Bran was acting like a link between the present and the past. I also think it was a demonstration of just how powerful Bran will become. However, I don't think Bran can 'change' the past in any real sense. Hodor was "Hodor" before Bran was even born. I think it relates back to the play we saw earlier in the episode: everyone has a part to play, and they will play it. The whole illusion of free will and what-ifs.
