If the Turkey eVisa has been processed, it can't be modified and a new one must be applied for.

Visit the Turkey embassy or consulate in your home country to apply for a regular Visa.

No, the Turkey eVisa allows a single entry into the country.

If your planned stay exceeds the visa-free period, you will need to apply for a suitable long-term visa from a Turkish embassy or consulate in your home country before you travel.
