Can I change my bank account number, if it is incorrect and my refund has already been accepted?

You cannot change your bank information since your return has already been accepted.  The IRS (& State) will automatically switch you to receiving a check once the bank rejects the deposit because of the wrong bank information. It can take 4 to 6 weeks to receive the check.

What if I entered the wrong bank account for direct deposit?

Maybe, if you act fast. Phone the IRS and/or state taxing authority and speak to a representative. Have materials at hand, e.g., your 2018 tax return, to verify your identity.
