Yes, you can. 
Submit your edited story like it is a new story, but make these changes:
Title: Your Original Title + EDIT
Fill out as normal.
Add to the Admin Notes at the bottom:
1. "This is an edited version of a previously approved story."
2. Provide the link to your original story to make it easy for Laurel to upload the edit to the right story/author.
3. Say thank you.
Lastly, be patient. Edits are low priority and it may take up to 2 weeks to be processed. Also, when the changes do occur, not all Lit pages show the updates at the same time; it can take 24 hours to worm its way through the system, but it'll get there.
Hope that helps, good luck!

You can edit content, but format is dictated by the site, and you don't get any say on that.

Oh, that's a good catch. Format. Different from content.
You can use html formatting for many things (bold, italics, underline, strike-through) and mess with the space between paragraphs.
However, yes, you can't choose the font, and you can't change the size of the text.
Good point.

Can I make a few changes and resubmit
I wrote a story that I thought was really good, but it's far and away my worst rated story, and an honest critical re-read shows that it's getting what it deserves.
But it's not beyond repair, and I'd like to fix it and re-submit it, hopefully with a reset on the ratings clock.
Can I do that using the same title and main body of the story?

If you want to reset everything, it has to be a new story. If you fix the existing content, your existing score and comments stay, but you won't get back on the front page of the category.
This is where I always suggest, forget about trying to fix the old story. Write a new one, you'll learn a whole lot more, and you'll have another story up. Better to have ten stories than one story fixed ten times. Your best story is your next one, not your last one.

Of course there's a guarantee - complete bollocks always comes with a bullshit warranty, guaranteed. You should have picked that up by nowUmmm . . . that doesn't come with a guarantee, does it?
.BTW, did you figure out why dads never wanted their daughters in the back of a panel van?

Sage advice, but the one in question stinks pretty hard.
I'm debating just removing it.
Thanks for the tip, it saved me some work.

Of course it's your decision, but I say, just leave it up. I have some stories up that, if I looked hard at them again (sometimes I do), I could think of all sorts of things I'd change. But I don't, and I let them sit there, to remind me that in at least some ways I've gotten better at doing this. It's a nice historical record. Plus, I like tracking stats over time, and if I took the story down I couldn't do that.
