Q: 

mysql query browser: is it possible to undo change?

ive updated a table in a database using mysql query browser. is it possible to roll back?

+1  A: 

'Fraid not. If you don't have a backup and the update was not run inside an as yet uncommitted transaction then there isn't much you can do. Using the safe-updates option can help prevent some kinds of mistakes, generally those where the where clause has been forgotten however again is no help retrospectively. Sorry!

+2  A: 

Try using the rollback button on the Mysql Query Browser toobar. If it doesn't work, the change has already been committed and cannot be undone anymore. Try retrieving things from a backup instead.
