You can change by having either of the national parties set rules about primary/caucus timing and declaring that they won't seat delegates chosen out of line with those rules.
Heck, the whole reason Iowa has to report more dimensions of data this year is a DNC rule (not on timing, obviously) adopted in response to complaints about the results last cycle. So we know the party committees rules do direct the administration of state nominating contests.
