Is it possible to change to an earlier connection by asking at check-in counter?

It is probably not possible for you to get an earlier flight unless someone invents a time machine.

However, on some classes of tickets, Qatar Airways will pay for a hotel room and meals for you in this circumstance, and in that case you may be allowed to clear immigration and go to the hotel without a transit visa.

Holders of a prearranged Stopover Paid by Carrier (STPC) issued to those in transit for min. 8 hours and max. 24 hours are permitted to leave the transit area, if holding passports valid for at least 3 months and subject to approval from immigration.

You should contact Qatar Airways immediately, to find out if you are eligible for the free accommodations.

Note that the transit without visa only applies if the airline pays for your accommodations. It does not apply if you pay for the accommodations yourself.

You can always ask. They may say yes, they may say no.

It depends on availability, fare class, your status with the airline, whether you have checked luggage (or not), mood of the agent, and phase of the moon.
