Is it possible to change a stated theory in the scientific world?
I think Scientific Theories can be changeable. If we find new theories that prove others wrong, that scientific theory can be proved wrong. Galileo used shapes of different masses at the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He had refuted the theory about free falling objects, championed by Aristole. So there you have it! He changed a scientific theory! Actually, two! He proved that the earth was NOT in the center of the universe, which had been accepted since ancient time. People can scientific theories CAN be changeable. Not unchangeable.

Can a scientific theory be disproven?
Yes, of course it can! =D A theory is just a hypothesis that has been tested and supported by numerous experiments. However, if another scientist can argue against a theory, and can sufficiently support his own ideas, the original theory is disproved. So we have to be careful when we say "prove." It is almost impossible to "prove" something in science, but rather ideas are "very well supported." It's also how the science community grows. So hopefully, you can disprove a major scientific theory one day and revolutionize the field of study!
How is Darwin's theory called a theory?
His first paper was titled:- 'On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection' His book was titled 'On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life' (usually abbreviated to On the Origin of Species). In these publications he set described things/features that could be seen in the biological world and presented a process by which these could arise over time, with evidence to support these proposals. As such his publications conform to the scientific method and may be called a theory. His proposals are now well accepted as being a correct/true description about how the variety of life as we know it came to be on our planet and form the basis of modern evolutionary theory. *In scientific terminology, a theory is a proposal/explanation with evidence that could be defended (a fossil record, the different bird specie variations, etc.) and an idea that can be used to predict further developments; in this case, that there have been/are/will be major changes to an organism's DNA/RNA over time as it adapts to its environment, which can be proven with a decent microscope and some bacteria, and common acceptance in the scientific community (tick this box).
