Is the quality of writing relative? Could writing of the future make modern works obsolete?

But if we give a definition to 'quality,' wouldn't that mean that we could alter past works to better fit that definition?

no.
works get filtered by time and most disappear, what a society enjoys might change, but what is does not change.
dante's inferno is still dante's inferno, the odyssey is still the odyssey, moby dick is still moby dick.
