As I am typing this, on August the 11th 2009, it is possible to see Jupiter at night. From the northern hemisphere, it looks like a very bright star towards the south east. It is much brighter than anything else apart from the moon. It will be possible to see it every clear night for many months to come, right throughout the winter. There are lots of websites that will tell you where to look for it and what other things you can see in the night sky. One of those is given below.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the brightness of Jupiter apper to change over time?
That's mainly because the distance from Jupiter to Earth changes over time. If we assume, for simplicity, that Jupiter's orbit is circular, and that the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5 AU, then, when Jupiter is in opposition (opposite to the Sun, from our point of view), it is at a distance of 4 AU (5 minus 1); when it is in conjunction (behind the Sun, from our point of view), it's at a distance of 6 AU (5 plus 1).

What is the best way to observe the moons of Jupiter through a telescope?
To observe the moons of Jupiter through a telescope, it is best to use a telescope with a high magnification and a stable mount. Choose a clear night with minimal light pollution, and aim the telescope towards Jupiter. Look for the four largest moons of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, which are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Adjust the focus and position of the telescope to get a clear view of the moons and their positions relative to Jupiter.

Does Jupiter flash different colours of a night?
No, not normally. In a powerful telescope, Jupiter's rotation brings different cloud patterns into view over the course of a night, but even these are mostly gray and dark grey. The colors you see in photos of Jupiter are from time-lapse photography, necessary to being the color out.
