I have not heard of a God changing his essential nature. While God can do miracles inside his Universe (which being infinite is meaningless) when we assume monotheism we assume no other source of power/life is present. As such such a God would not be disturbed from outside. The external force that is needed to change the states of a moving or stationary object.
This is an interesting point of speculation to which I will make two observations. Since you above mention of not hearing of a god which can change its nature (assuming I read you the right way), then this does not necessarily mean that there cannot be gods which can in fact change themselves in this way.
Secondly I might also add that if I think of God who cannot change His nature, then I can also think of a god which can, and so which one might say would be the grander, greater of the two.
But aren't human characteristics (or anthropomorphism) just a 'system' of sorts, i.e. an organising structure of identities, co operating elements in and of themselves working through to a way and end? Away from this consideration it might be more accurate to deem a reality which worked without divine guidance and without reason or deliberation, more of a system in the way you mean, than a purported deity whose human-like subjectivity, rage, jealousy, love vanity & etc might be unsystematic for reasons all of its own which we cannot know.
