Can one change any of the rules ad still call is Robert’s rules?

Well, yes, but any rules you change would actually be special rules of order which your organization adopt. Any special rules of order so adopted supersede any contrary rules in RONR. A commonly adopted special rule of order is one that changes The length of speeches from 10 minutes to a shorter period. That would be a special rule of order which supersedes the 10 minute provision in RONR. Special rules of order are usually in a separate document that is attached to or appended to the bylaws, much as standing rules are.
