There are three conditions that are needed for a hurricane to form. Warm surface temperatures in the ocean, moisture in the atmosphere, and a wind pattern near the surface of the ocean must all be present and can combine to form a hurricane.
The formation of tropical cyclones is the topic of extensive ongoing research and is still not fully understood. While six factors appear to be generally necessary, tropical cyclones may occasionally form without meeting all of the following conditions. In most situations, water temperatures of at least 26.5 °C (79.7 °F) are needed down to a depth of at least 50 m (160 ft); waters of this temperature cause the overlying atmosphere to be unstable enough to sustain convection and thunderstorms. Another factor is rapid cooling with height, which allows the release of the heat of condensation that powers a tropical cyclone. High humidity is needed, especially in the lower-to-mid troposphere; when there is a great deal of moisture in the atmosphere, conditions are more favorable for disturbances to develop. Low amounts of wind shear are needed, as high shear is disruptive to the storm's circulation. Tropical cyclones generally need to form more than 555 km (345 mi) or 5 degrees of latitude away from the equator, allowing the Coriolis Effect to deflect winds blowing towards the low pressure center and creating a circulation. Lastly, a formative tropical cyclone needs a pre-existing system of disturbed weather, although without a circulation no cyclonic development will take place. Low-latitude and low-level westerly wind bursts associated with the Madden-Julian oscillation can create favorable conditions for tropical cyclogenesis by initiating tropical disturbances.
For initial conditions there has to be warm ocean water and moist air to power the system. Next, wind shear can't be too strong or the storm won't be able to organize. Then you need the Coriolis effect to be strong, meaning the system can't be too close to the equator. Finally there needs to be a disturbance or a low pressure are with a few showers and thunderstorms. This will be the seed that can eventually grow into a hurricane.

The movement of hurricanes is predicted using computerized weather movement, which use present conditions to predict how the wind in and around a hurricane will behave.

No, scientists can't make a hurricane change direction. As it is, we still have trouble even predicting the path a hurricane will take. We are not even on the level of influencing what a hurricane will do.

Not only do hurricane paths change, they are near unpredictable.

Such predictions are impossible to make. The path of a hurricane can only be predicted once it forms, and even then there's a lot of uncertainty.
