Yes, head of household is not allowed for someone married and living with their spouse. They can amend their return or returns to a joint return though, and will probably come out as well or better on total taxes owed anyway.
The form to file is 1040X. It can be downloaded at irs.gov, and there is no charge to file it. If they have a commercial tax preparer prepare it though, they will charge a fee for preparation.

Yes, the return needs to be amended to be correct.
A married person who lived with there spouse and filed using the head of household filing status may have committed fraud. The cost of the amendment would vary greatly. From "free" if done my hand, to $30-40 using software to a couple of hundred if taken to a professional.
