If the document was created in violation of someones rights or any matter of law the court may invalidate the document and therfore reverse whatever action the document was intended to perform.

If the "scratch" was made after the document was signed, and was made without the knowledge and consent of any other party having an interest in it, or if the "scratch" substantially changes the information in the document, then yes, that is a form of altering.
