Depends on the alterations.
Usually logging all users out and as root doing a "mount -a" will suffice.
Found this in man mount:
(i) The command
mount -a [-t type] [-O optlist]
(usually given in a bootscript) causes all file systems
mentioned in fstab (of the proper type and/or having or
not having the proper options) to be mounted as indicated,
except for those whose line contains the noauto keyword.
