I just had a panicked student in my office who had "heard from someone in the Lodge" that she could not change her Common Application once she submitted it. Since she's submitting it tonight for an October 15th deadline, she was pretty worried.
While it's true that you cannot alter an application once it is submitted to a college (ie, when you hit the send button and send your Common app to UVA, you cannot change what has been sent to UVA) you can most certainly edit your Common Application before you send it out to other schools.
It's called Creating An Alternate Version and you can find instructions for how to do this on the Common Application website. Here is a PDF that also explains it.

I'm so glad the Rumor of The Day has been dispelled!
