If both you and your spouse want to file a joint return, yes you can make the change by filing an amended return.

Yes, you can change from separate to joint by filing an amended return (From 1040X). Here's a link to the form (http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040x.pdf) and the instructions(http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf).
You're lucky that you don't want to go the other way because you CANNOT change from joint to separate after the due date for the return (tomorrow for 2006 returns),

Yes with a 1040X amended form. You can change your return.

You betcha. Just wait until the first one has been processed, and then file the amended one.

You may as long as you both agree.
