I want to put more items for sale in the auction house, but I have already reached the limit of 10. Is there a way to end current auctions early, or change the buyout price to sell the items currently being sold quicker?

Edit: Updated for 1.0.4
You can cancel any auction, so long as no bids have been made on it yet.
If you want to change the buyout price, you will need to cancel the auction (assuming no current bids), and re-list it with the new starting/buyout prices).
The ability to cancel auctions with no bids was added in patch 1.0.4. Prior to that, the following historical answer was valid:
You have 5 minutes from the start of the auction to cancel it. Once you are past that 5 minute mark, there is no way to end the auction early, short of someone purchasing the item via buyout.
You cannot change the minimum bid or buyout price once the auction is started.
Your only options are to wait and see if someone buys it, or possibly give someone else (that you trust!) the money for the buyout, have them buy it, give it back to you, and put it back on the AH at a new price. Keep in mind that you will wind up losing money this way to the AH fees, however.
