Yes, if "intelligence" is defined as rational behavior. The more you learn from your experience and others', the more likely you'll behave rationally.

The general answer would be yes. But there are many factors that could influence intelligence. What kind of intelligence exactly are you talking about?
Intelligence is determined by a person's environment, interests, and basically their determination/motivation to learn. If a person wants to be a smart, if that desire is strong enough, it can grow, regardless of anything else. A person's intelligence would probably be changed by an external event, but that's not the only way it can change. Many things can influence intelligence.
I can't really answer your question because it's really broad, there are many thoughts that I can't articulate unless it's specific -- I'd just keep on rambling. Anyway, I hope my answer is somewhat useful. Happy new year! ^_^

Intelligence is supposed to be somewhat static, barring some head injury or brain damage. It is really a measure of how fast you learn compared to how fast the average person learns. Even though one learns more over time, others do as well, therefore the ratio remains the same. One reason it changes a little (about 15 points+/-) is that our measurement devices are not 100% accurate. To be 100% accurate, they would need to compile all possible information, not just a sample of it.

There are different intelligences (7), take for example the social one. You learn your whole life through and this learning and the experiences you will make in the duration of your life will make your intelligence change. So the older you get, the more intelligent you will get.

Intelligence is a word with controversial meaning. Psychologists and other professionals have been attempting to define it for decades. To this date the best way to define intelligence is by breaking it into two seperate categories: fluid and crystallized. Fluid intelligence is the ability to make meaning out of confusion and usually thought of as being independent of learning. It is reputable for remaining stable throughout one's lifetime. However, crystallized intelligence, the ability to regurgitate previous learning, is believed to change as it is subject to the rules of memory. That's about is good as it gets.

If you mean IQ I'm not sure but I think it can somewhat.
Otherwise, I guess you would really mean knowledge. Knowledge changes all the time; hopefully it continues to grow but then you can reach a point (with age) when you start losing knowledge faster than you learn it (or at least retain it).
Common sense falls in here somewhere too. You either have it or you don't. Or you can have it & not pay attention to it (which would not be intelligent).

Yeah like JJay said what are you trying to ask,I think in periods of time it changes a little,not in a way that we become more intelligent or less just a little different

Oh!
It's a clevery question ...
we can improve our flexibility to do works by more training , but every one have a special structure of DNA that it dosn't change.
it seems that intelligence refers to DNA and it must not change.
but we can improve our doing work by better food and sport and ...
we must to use our intelligence more and more.
be happy my friend
