Can I change the loft on the driver? What can I do to correct the problem. I have a Graphite Design S YS6 shaft on the club. What are your thoughts on helping me hit the ball sqare?

william,
"thin kind of topping the driver" suggests to me that you are hitting the ball real far on the upswing. i'm no swing expert, but if i were you, i'd try 2 quick things:
1) first, make sure the ball isn't teed up too high. equator of the ball should be even with the top of the driver head. you could tee it up just a smidge higher if you like.
2) ball position. make sure the ball isn't too far up in your stance. if it's on the instep of your left foot (assuming you're right handed) and you're still thinning it, move the ball position back maybe an inch.
there could be other issues like swinging way from the inside, etc. but try those two quick fixes first. good luck!

William,
Is this something that you just started experiencing or have you always hit the ball thin? To me, it sounds like you are swinging over the ball, but there could be any number of things contributing to the problem. Fred's advice for teeing the ball is a good starting point, but if you continue to have problems you should seek advice from a professional swing instructor. He/She could watch you hit shots and they would then be able to see what is causing your problem and help you correct it.
Good Luck!
