How to update the scheduled jobs in apex

Question

I have scheduled batch class through salesforce UI. This will run every day @1:00 AM from 1/1/2016 to 1/31/2016.

Now i need to change schedule job time and extend the end date of the job.

Is there any way to change date & time of existing schedule job?

You cannot update the scheduled jobs. You need to delete the existing job and then schedule it again.

To Delete existing job follow below step:

Setup -> Scheduled Job -> Job Name -> Delete

Setup -> Apex Classes -> Click on Schedule Job -> Select your class name and give other values
