Do you think there would ever be a scenario where Bowser could change fundamentally? If so, what would have to happen to make that change?
// Anyone can change. Bowser has evolved in the series over time, having become a bit more fatherly. Raising Junior has shifted his character a lot.
That being said, Bowser is the most stubborn of the main three (Mario, Peach, Bowser) and it would take extreme measures to enforce any real change in him. That is navigating endless ego and attitude. Few characters/events would have the patience or means to inspire that change. His methods have given him so many rewards. He has little reason to try to change.
It is difficult to define what would need to happen, but something substantial. If a person were trying to inspire change, they would have to earn his respect, convince him change was worthwhile, and even then require extreme patience as he would not change quickly. Huge events could change him. If he no longer had a whole kingdom on his shoulders, that would open the door for more personal development.
But why would you want him to change?? Bowser is perfect. We should all change for him... Peaches. (:
