I would think so. Science proves and and disproves things everyday. Science always changes so the laws will change along with it. Well also think about the case with poor pluto. Pluto is no longer a planet. DARN IT WAS MY FAVORITE ONE!! I hope the next one is called Pluto Jr.

highly unlikly that a Scientific law will be changed. it can be, but typically so many attempts have been made to disprove the hypothesis before it is even accepted to that point.
Law are the foundations of our observations of how things work in nature. they may be modified slightly as newer technology evolves, to show us a law need further examined, but typically a law does not change.
if your experiment is a repeat of another, and shows that it would change a law, you probably did it wrong and should try it again.

Sure can. That's the beauty of the scientific method. As new information comes forward, old understandings can be modified.
A law, however, is as close to written in stone as it can get, so it will take a major paradigm shift to require modifying the law.

if new experiments are made to prove an old law wether to be wrong or incomplete there will always be a chance to change it. many notions we have been taught as unchangeable truths, like the theories about the atomic constitution of the matter, are being putted through new considerations regarding the strings theory, which explains the material existence of things as the result of the vibrations of certain strings that haven´t been proved to exist yet, for example.

Of course. If new evidence brings its authenticity into doubt it can change. Its incredibly difficult for any theory to become a law so its unlikely that one would ever be changed but it has happened.

yes if you were able to proove that it is not true to a particular phenomena or case or event and a concrete example is the Classical Laws of Gravitation proposed by sir Newton which is later modified (some concepts) by Albert Einstein

if discoveries have been made to disprove the law, then yes, it can. Laws are only laws to the extent of our knowledge. most laws end up being broken, even if we don't know about it.
