Is there a way to move the origin (0,0) in Eagle?

No, but you can work with relative coordinates after setting a MARK
somewhere.
It's also no problem to move your whole design to work with another
origin (DISPLAY ALL, GROUP everything, then MOVE).

That is not so easy if you have a number of locked parts.

It's always better to choose the correct origin etc. /before/ doing
placement and/or layout...

I agree.
But things change after one begins layout.

Agreed - but if such things change, these parts shouldn't be locked.
Locking parts is for mechanically really fixing something - normally due
to external constraints. It doesn't make any sense to place them /not/
at their final position... (resp. to lock them if they are not at their
final position)
