You can ignore it, you can choose not to follow it, but you cannot change it at will, as you'd be messing with God's word.
Actually, religious laws change all the time. Christianity created an entire "New" Testament and claimed some of the "old laws" have been "fulfilled". Mormonism came out with a 3rd Testament. Islam has had only one book but how it is practiced and how its laws are interpreted vary from one country to another. Since Jesus and Muhammad never come down from Heaven to explain to us how the laws are to be interpreted and enforced, the way these religions are practiced will vary depending on whoever is at the microphone at the time.
