There is some terminology intricacies you need to know here.
You will notice that when they talk about upgrades they talk about upgrading to Economy Plus or using any benefits of your Mileage Plus or Premier membership. So In terms of using your benefits of the Premier or Mileage Plus, or paying to upgrade to a Economy Plus seat..NO you will not be allowed to do that.
However, you can PAY to upgrade out of BE to regular Economy. Just be aware that the cost of this upgrade will often end up costing you more than just buying the regular Economy ticket did in the first place.
If you booked this within the last 24 hours, United gives you 24 hours to cancel your flight for a full refund, even in BE. So if you are thinking of upgrading to Regular Economy and it hasn't been 24 hours you should consider doing that ASAP.

Most airlines I know, let you upgrade to a full economy..
however, SOME of the restrictions remain..
So you might get flexibility..
and refundability - but only back to the original price of the non-refundable ticket.
(ie, you can't upgrade to then later get a 100% refund - they are wise to that !)
Talk to United Airlines..OR expedia.. .either should be able to make the change
do however expect that you may have to pay extra commission to Expedia on top of the ticket price (as they are the agent)
It may however be cheaper and more cost effective to just buy a new ticket

No, that is one of the restrictions of a Basic Economy ticket. It cannot be upgraded or changed.

No, there isn't. As noted on the United Airlines website in the FAQs:
"Can I make changes to my reservation after I have purchased it?
You are not allowed to make changes to Basic Economy tickets, but most other tickets allow for changes. If your ticket can be changed, you may do so in Manage Reservations after purchasing. Please note that a change fee may apply."

NO. When you booked your ticket, it was explained that there are NO changes or refunds to the ticket. What part of that do you not understand? Whether or not you read it doesn't matter.

Contact Expedia and/or United Airlines.
