What are you going to do to accomplish it, given the constraints on your powers?
I'm going to talk to Pete's mom, who should be a lawyer by now, if not a judge. Since I'm much smarter in these games than I am IRL, I'd craft a persuasive argument that Lionel needs to be allowed to purchase the factory *and* that the Kents need help figuring out how to adopt Clark legally.
What do you think the effect of your change will be?
Hopefully, this will fix Jonathan's relationships with both Clark and Lex. Neither of them will be a constant reminder of how he "sold out," so when Lex comes to Smallville (note that I'm going to convince her to get them to sell the factory to Lionel in hopes that ), Jonathan will see that Lex needs real friends and a family, and be willing to be that for Lex.
What might be the unintended consequences?
Oh, all sorts of things. Jonathan and Martha might not get to adopt Clark after all. The Rosses might not sell the factory to Lionel, which would keep Lex from moving to Smallville.* Jonathan might find another reason to resent Clark. The Rosses might split up earlier and Mrs. Ross might take Pete away from Smallville, so that Pete and Clark would never become friends (not that that would be a big loss, imho).
*And if Lex never comes to SV, it could well be that he'll continue fighting his father's way of doing things, and the boys will become friends once Clark moves to Metropolis. Which would work for me, too.

Keep Clark and Lex as friends.
