You need to delete and re-post. Craigslist requires that you wait 48 hours from the original post before re-posting. More here.

Yes, you can change the category! When you go in to edit your post, click on Edit Text. The category is located between the Contact Info and the Posting Tile. You can click on the down arrow and change the category from the dropdown list.
