In an over-the-board game (that is, not on the Internet)? No. Once you touch a piece, you must move it (if legal to do so). Once you touch an opponent's piece, you must capture it (if possible). These apply even if you do not hit your clock.

No, you have to move with that figure which you have touched. What you're talking about is analysis, which is not legal during a tournament game.

And, you can't change the move when you drop the piece, afaik. I mean, you can't move a rook from a1 to c1, and without hitting the clock, change the move to, let's say, e1.

Exactly. If you do not let go of the Rook, then you can just move from a1, past c1, and on to e1. But once you let go of any piece, the move is final, if you have not hit the clock.
Is it legal to change move several times as long i'm not hitting my clock?
