Can justices on the Supreme Court change their positions between the time of the conference vote and the announcement of the opinion of the vote?

Yes, they absolutely can and it has been known to happen. The purpose of the conference vote is mainly to secure an initial consensus of opinion rather than to have a binding vote. Once a vote is taken at the conference, majority and minority opinions are drafted and circulated among all the justices so they can read them before they are announced to the public. It has happened where a justice has voted for one side, but after reading the opinion for the other side, changed his mind and switched his vote to join the other side. In addition, between the time the conference vote is taken and the opinions are finalized, some justices, most notably, Felix Frankfurter, would try to convince other justices to change their thinking on a particular issue and then change their vote. In the case of Baker v. Carr, the conference vote had been 5 to 4 as to whether the reapportionment issue was political or justiciable. The ultimate opinion came down 6 to 2, because Justice Thomas Clark, on his own, simply changed his mind and wrote a concurring opinion. (It wasn't 6 to 3, because Justice Whittaker recused himself.) The inner workings of the US Supreme Court are not governed by any rules or statutes. The manner in which they discuss and decide cases is strictly up to the justices themselves, although the Chief Justice really has the final say.
