What can possibly change the home location.
Today I was flying the mini, and I probably made a mistake, and change the home location because, he was going away. lucily I still had good signal in NYC wifi hit interference....

You might want to be more specific in your description of the event.
 
I want to know what are the different ways to RTH can be changed after take off.
I was flying about 500 Meters, and press RTH.
Notice the drone ascended to the designated altitude, and started going to me.
I saw an error about the Max power reached a few times however, there was barely wind where I was.
Noticed that I was flying about 110 Meters up.

I was able to bring the drone back, but did not keep the 110M altitude...

The update Home locatio updaes the home location to where i located.
I think I updated the home location in flight.

You'll need to provide the TXT file and the DAT file for the good folks here to help you analyze what happened during the flight. The more descriptive you can be will also help.

Concerning your question about how "RTH can be changed after take off" is a bit vague. You can not "change" RTH, but you can cancel it.

What you can do is update your home point during the flight.

The winds aloft can be significantly different at 360 feet as compared to the surface. RTH is not a magic bullet and in many cases it might be the wrong thing to do.

You might want to become acquainted with UAV Forecast. It’s a free app and you’ll learn much about what’s really going on above you. It’s not perfect but it’s better than trying to eyeball the wind at 300+ feet. I’m glad you got it back safely.
