Yes and no. Some phenomena, like fluid turbulence, transcends all physical scales - meaning turbulence can affect a few atom of gas all the way to galactic clusters, about 30 orders of magnitude. However, you need to have a series of events at one order to affect the next. So, for example, you cannot have a butterfly flapping its wings in 2006 cause a hurricane in 2007. However, the collective microscopic events that occurred in 2006 could lead inexorable to macroscopic events in 2007.
In the same way, the influence of the cosmic wind on a cloud of gas and dust in space - simple cosmic rays hitting random molecules of gas - can start a turbulent motion that over a billion years will cause the cloud to collapse into a star, create a solar system, and in at least one case, start life.

IF you mean what happened to the Ashton Kutcher character in the movie then no. It's not possible to go back in time and change your life or to read something that happened to you earlier and go back to that moment.
