What exactly do you mean? Do you mean changing targets while the spell is on the stack?

Here's an example: I cast increasing savagery to put +5/5 counters on my elf warrior. My opponent then destroys that elf warrior on his turn, sending it to my graveyard. My question is, can I now cast increasing savagery from my graveyard for its flashback cost to put +10/10 counters on a different creature I have on the battlefield, say a war elephant or can it only be used on the elf warrior I first used it on?
