Can you change a 304 microfarad 370volts capacitor with a 305 microfarad 370 volts capacitor?

[Edit]

Answer

In most cases, yes. Unless you're in some high precision device, you're probably working with a 5-10% tolerance which would allow a 15-30 microfarad variance. Even a 1% tolerance would give you 3 microfarads. You can go with the same or higher voltage rating, just not lower.
