If I remember Correctly, if we were able to detect an object that was on a trajectory to smash into earth a minimum of three years in advance, we could literally just paint it white and the trajectory would be so different that it would miss earth by a substantial gap.
As far as current technology goes, I would imagine our best bet at attempting to change a comet/asteroid's path would have to involve lasers, since we just don't have the technology to intercept the object while it is still suffeciently far from earch. Sending nukes would be another option, but an unpredictable one.
