I've had to change 'planes times/dates on a few occasions and as AA says, they're normally happy to update your GAR over the phone.

The required notice is 12 hours, not 24.

The appropriate reference is the Terrorism Act 2000, Sch7, Section 12(3)

(3) Where an aircraft is employed on a journey to which this paragraph applies otherwise than to carry passengers for reward, the captain of the aircraft shall not permit it to call at or leave a port in Great Britain or Northern Ireland unless-

(a) the port is a designated port, or
(b) he gives at least 12 hours' notice in writing to a constable for the police area in which the port is situated (or, where the port is in Northern Ireland, to a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary).
If you want to see the context for yourself you can see the act by clicking here.

So if you're planning on an early morning flight, so that you're in belfast by 9:30am, you have until 9:30pm the night before to send your fax.

This all changes if you're being paid to carry your passengers (which I'm assuming you are not). If you are being paid, then you actually need the PSNI's permission, not just notify them.

I can also confirm that I have given amendments over the phone with shorter notice, and they have been happy to accept that as being sufficient.
