yea, it will give a bad impact on your site. how?
Suppose the keyword you use on your post is " 2015 best tablets to buy" and now you re-edit it and change it to " Best Tablets to buy on budget prices"
URL of 1st keyword : Http://xyz.com/2015-best-tablets -to-buy
URL of 2nd keyword: Http://xyz.com/Best-tablets-to-buy-on-budget-price
So basically now you have two URL on google of one post and if someone will click on the 1st keyword it will show "404 Error content not found" because you have changed the Title and URL of that post.
I am not sure 404 error effects SEO or not but I will create a bad impression on your website

You can use 301 redirection and update the title, but I recommend not to change the title.

URLs should never change.
If your site has high authority it'll get spidered and reindexed fast.
If this is a new site, you may as well be facing another 3 to 6 months, like restarting the whole thing all over again.
Plan your URL structure ahead so you never change it later.

Yes, this may lead to major problems. Instead you add some information in the same post by using " Best Tablets to buy on budget prices" .

If you are changing the url, make sure to do a 301 redirect. Doing so will keep the seo intact.
As for the title, if you are just modifying the language construct like "best things" to "10 best things" or "10 most useful things" it should be fine.
However if you are replacing the main keyword entirely, strange things might happen

I usually only change the title if I wrote a post with a year in the title (2015 articles would be changed to 2016) or if I re-optimise the article for a different keyword and I've never noticed any negative effects when I do this.
As for changing the URL, I try to avoid it when possible by planning ahead (e.g., the article with a year in the title will not have the year in the URL), but when it does happen, I 301 redirect the old URL to the new one. I've had to do this twice when I added HTTPS to a few of my sites and another time when I re-organised the URL structure of another.

dont change the url it will give 404 error, instead change the title and meta tags and optimize the content.

Let say, I have an authority article 3000 words about 'How much does a website cost in 2015?' and I would like to update its information as well as change the title for 2016... What solution do you guys propose? I would like to add something like 'This article has been updated on January 2016 with more up to date information'.

If that article is properly ranked up in google; i would not recommend changing it's title!
