Changing time for pre-defined scripts

Thank you for the quick UNIX crontab primer. My next question would be, does changing the time values for the pre-defined daily/weekly/montly tasks here make them run at better times? I know there are lots of utilities to force run those tasks "now" but I wonder why no one has made such a utility to simply change when they are run automatically. I would think if it was as simple as editing the crontab file, it would have been integrated into Cocktail, etc. by now.
