Yes. Go see a lawyer. If you want to make sure she doesn't get anything, I would do what they call a Holographic Will. Basically it is a handwritten will that is witnessed. You should state something to the affect of "This is the last will and testament of (insert your name here). I (name), being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby revoke all former wills and codicils executed by me, and dispose of my estate as follows..."
Keep in mind this type of will is only recognized in some state, but it is better than nothing.

Most definetly.... You can update your will anytime you choose. Go to an attorney or you can even do what's called a holographic will where you just write out a new will in your own words and have sign that before witnesses and/or notary public.
Personally, I'd go to an attorney to get it done right.

You can just make amendments to the original will to exclude your ex and anyone else who is in it that you no longer wish to be there. You can write another one if you want but chances are you can just omit certain parts of the original one. Make sure you do it asap because God forbid something happen you want to make sure your family is taken care of and not take advantage of by a vindictive ex.

YES! Simply insert a sentence that this will invalidates all previous wills. A lawyer can help you with the correct language.

Yes. You could make out a will anytime you want to. The new one always rules out the last one.
