Narrative:
I had a clearance for runway 15L, to hold short on crossing intersecting runway 25, along with altitude information. As I approached the hold short line my clearance was changed to runway 25 with other altitude information. This happened as I was nearing the hold short line. I momentarily took this as an indication to proceed. As I crossed the hold short line, I realized my error and immediately turned the C172 around. As I did this, I was told to turn around, go back to the hold short line and contact tower. On contacting the tower, I was immediately cleared for takeoff. Fortunately, there were no other aircraft landing or taking off.
