So if he "could" change them, that makes him non-omniscient right?

See, if he foresaw picking option A, he, in effect, foresaw NOT picking option B. Now the point is whether or not he can (or could) change to option B, regardless of whether option A is the best possible.

So in his full power mode, he would not be able to make a rock too heavy for himself to lift.
