You can change the Update period type between Calendar and Standard before you start submitting your quarterly update to HMRC. 

• Standard - these align to the tax year, from the 6th of the first month to the 5th of the last month in the quarter
• Calendar - runs from the first day of the quarter to the last day in the third month

After submitting, you'll see the message 'The update period can't be changed once a quarterly update has been submitted for the tax year.'
