Can we change main functions syntax??

Question

every language has got some fixed syntax of its main method . can we make any changes in that function? Is it defined to the compiler which will cause an error?
for eg:
can the int main()
be altered to void main or any other type
or public static void main(String ags[])
can we change it to int main
will any changes in main functions syntax cause any compiler error
