There are basically three ways to change the sentence. First is through a direct appeal, challenging things like the rulings on the evidence by the judge or jury instructions. Second, a collerteral attack may be made on constitutional grounds through a writ of habeas corpus. Finally, a person can apply for executive clemency with the state govenor for state crimes and with the President for federal crimes. The sentence may also be changed due to Supreme Court decision in other cases or be legislation but neither avenue would be within the control of the prisoner to initiate the process.

How can an early release from prison be granted?
If your sentence has a "possibility of parole" date on it, it is highly unlikely that you will be paroled until you have served at least that amount of time. However, there have been circumstances that have led to early parole, one of which I know is overcrowding in prisons. And if there is a circumstance in which early parole is offered, inmates are usually selected according to their behavior or the nature of their crime. You can be paroled after you've served 1/3 of your sentence, depending on your behavior.
