I'm not quite sure if this is what you mean, but the moon revolves around the earth in an elliptical pattern, not a circle, and it also rotates as it does this. So yes the moon can change its position.

Why does the moon change it color?
It's the lighting from the sun which varies with position of both the moon and the earth.
How many degrees does the Moon's position change from one day to the next?
As the Moon and Earth orbit each other, the moon changes position relative to the stars by about 13 degrees per day.
Does the moon change shape in a full orbit?
No - the moon itself stays the same shape. The phases of the moon change as the earth and moon orbit round the sun. The phases are simply the amount of sunlight reflected in relation to the position of the earth's shadow cast on the moon
Does the position of earth and the moon cause Moon's phase?
No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.
Why does the moon change position in the sky and even appears during the day at times?
The moon orbits the Earth at the same time the Earth is rotating, this means that the moon's daily rise and set times change constantly over a 29 day period.
How does moon's shape and position change over time?
The moon's shape would change with the impact of meteor's, changing the moon's landscape.
Why does the moon appear to change as it revolves around the earth?
it has to do with the sun and the position of the moon , sun and earth
Why does the moon change it color?

Why does the position of the ocean ellipse change of a course of a given week?

Why does the moon stars and planets change position during a night?
Because the Earth is rotating :D

Why do the the times of moonrise and moonset change during the month?
The times of moonrise and moonset change during the month because the Moon orbits the Earth, which causes its position relative to the Earth and Sun to shift. This changing position results in variations in the timing of when the Moon rises and sets each day.
Does the moon change when it goes around earth?
It appears to change because of the position of it relative to Earth and Sun, but always has it's same side to us.
