Hi. I'm booked to travel from. Vienna to Zürich tomorrow (Tuesday) and have reserved a seat. However I can't travel tomorrow and want to change the booking to Wednesday. Where can I do this? Thanks

If you’re travelling with a Eurail pass, you just deactivate your travel day and activate it again as soon as you’re about to travel. It’s never a good idea to activate your pass/travel day before your actual travel day.

For your seat reservation: it depends where you bought it but most certainly, they are not refundable.

If you bought the seat reservation ticket with ÖBB you may still cancel it today and get a refund of half the reservation fee, i.e. €1.50. You cannot do it, if you have already downloaded or received by email the reservation ticket as PDF.
