No, not possible. However, to a limited extent the President can fail to enforce the law or selectively enforce the parts that he likes. An example would the Immigration law in the case of Obama. If he does this, he is subject to laws suits and Congress may write a new law that is more clear or else impeach and try him for malfeasance.

Can the current president change the laws that the outgoing president made while in office?
no- not in the US. The president can not change any laws at all. Only Congress can change the law . (The Supreme Court can nullify a law by ruling it to be in violation of the US Constitution.) The president can ask Congress to change a law and can campaign for congressional candidates who promise to repeal certain laws.
Does the US President or the congress or the Supreme Court change the Constitution without voting on changes?
Congress can amend the constitution, but not without a vote. They can also call a constitutional convention to rewrite a whole or part of the constitution, but again, not without a vote. Although, there are ways around the constitution. For example, if congress passed an unconstitutional law and the president signed it, the supreme court may rule the law as unconstitutional, but because it is the president's job to enforce the law, he can disregard their ruling, even though this generally leads to a huge drop in popularity.
