Perhaps you can try free DesignSpark from RS Components, it is quite 
widely used meanwhile and has a good community.

However, if the changes are just some small moves and not a total 
redesign, if this would be my job and I had no CAD software, I really 
would prefer to make these changes within a gerber editor (I use 
Zuken Cadstar for layouts and CAM350 for Gerber checks, panelization 
and sometimes for small changes from customer layouts if I just have 
gerbers and nothing else).

Best regards
Matthias
