§ 410.20 Modification or enlargement of conditions.
1. The court may modify or enlarge the conditions of a sentence of probation or of conditional discharge at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the period of the sentence.

In any such case the modification or enlargement may be specified in the same manner as the conditions originally imposed and becomes part of the sentence.
