Junk,

you can execute and commit the entire ALTER TRIGGER statement. It is
not easily possible to just alter the SQL body of the trigger.

However, frquently changing DDL elements doesn't generally sound like
a good idea to me. You should also consider another solution. Maybe
you can store the date in a table so the trigger can read this and
work with the date from the table. And you can change the date with a
simple UPDATE statement.
