How do I change the dates of my Schengen visa?

I'm pretty sure you need to apply to a new visa (and possibly cancel the old one). Schengen Visa Code is pretty clear that:

Article 27

Filling in the visa sticker

...

  1. All entries on the visa sticker shall be printed, and no manual changes shall be made to a printed visa sticker.

  2. Visa stickers may be filled in manually only in case of technical force majeure. No changes shall be made to a manually filled in visa sticker.

So your current visa cannot be changed. They have an option to extend your visa (see Article 33), but only for "where the competent authority of a Member State considers that a visa holder has provided proof of force majeure or humanitarian reasons preventing him from leaving the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the period of validity of or the duration of stay authorised by the visa", which is clearly not the case here.
