Hmmm umm. Other people have given a lot of really great answers!
I might just go have sex with Lex for an hour, indeed. There are certainly times in his life when he'd go for that.
What is your goal? Get Lex and Clark together and honest with each other, so that both are better people and the world is a happier place.
What are you going to do to accomplish it, given the constraints on your powers?
a) Go back to some point in S1 or early S2 (am not sure off the top of my head when would be best), and tell Lex that Clark is an alien. Explain to him why Clark hasn't told him. Explain to him that he needs to break it to Clark gently that he's figured this all out. I might well have to use my knowledge of the future/Lex's deep dark secrets to convince him that I speak the truth.
b) Arrange it so that Lionel found the spaceship and baby Kal-El instead of Jonathan and Martha. Score!
What do you think the effect of your change will be?
a) I think if Lex, at that point, when he was a nice guy and when he wanted to be good and when Clark liked and trusted him, had told Clark that he already knew and that he got it, and opened up to Clark a bit himself, it could have all worked out. Awwww.
b) Well, the Clex would be brothers, and Lex would have always known Clark's secret. Awwwww.
What might be the unintended consequences?
a) No worse than the show, I think, unless you believe it would be inevitable even from then for Lex to turn evil, and him knowing Clark's secret would just put the whole world in danger. I mean, the only bad consequence would be a possible earlier rift if they fucked things up.
b) Odds are actually better than Clark would end up in a lab, experimented on from the day he arrived on this planet, totally messed up and with his intelligence ruined, or maybe trained to be a thoughtlessly obedient killing machine. Then Lionel could raise Lex to be even eviler from early on, or discard him as weak. Oh well, sucks to be everyone!
