I beg anybody to rephrase it understandingly with using some units similar to football fields. Is it possible to launch a little cheap rocket with a transmitter just to correct Voyager's position?

Using current technology we could probably make an object go faster than that so yes, it would be able to catch up.

However, we'd probably just put better instruments on this new object and make that the priority.
