is it possible to use an airline ticket that is bought for a later months and become a chance passenger?

Assuming you mean "stand by" than the answer is "typically no, but it depends and it's complicated"

Changing the date of flight for a non-flex ticket will incur a change fee and these days most airlines are pretty strict about collecting these. It depends on the type of ticket, airline policy and your status. United, for example, allows taking a different flight that's close in time to the original flight for free if your status is Gold or higher.

Other exceptions are flex tickets, people that have employee or family relations with the airlines, cases where the new fare is substantially cheaper than the original one, etc.
