"Verbage" isn't - but "verbiage" is. It can mean either wordiness (i.e. using more words than needed), or the style of expression used. So, "We would like to change the verbiage of this document," is a perfectly fine sentence - just remember the correct spelling.
You can look up words online at http://www.dictionary.com, by the way. :)

No,
verbiage means over abundance of words/ or the manner in which something is expressed in words,
verbage is a misspelling,
