the entangled photon was sent 10 miles i believe, doesn't matter.

my question is, once the polarization change is viewed on the receiving end, can the observation of the entangled photons ppolarization change be viewed more than once per entanglement?

or could the two ends essentially send morse code information instantaneously forever by changing the photons polarization?
because that would be a major problem.

You can never use entanglement to communicate information FTL.
