No. Not good to change capacitance.
You also cannot use capacitors from RadioShack, Frys, etc. They do not sell low esr capacitors.
Capacitors can be ordered from badcaps.net or Digikey, if you need help ordering, just ask one of us here.

Obviously, I concur with Tom66. The uf is the most important number - don't change it!
