I don't think department chairs generally have the power to change grades without the instructor's signature, but usually the Dean or Provost or someone higher up the chain does. I know it happened at one school I've been at where a grade I gave was changed without my permission, but it was done at the higher level (the department chair disagreed with the change as well).
