    If your website not ranking on the first position, then you can change your meta description without worrying about search ranking.

    Changing the description monthly is a good practice but your ranking will fluctuate
    depending upon your new keywords. If you are intent on doing it make sure you check your keywords for relevancy and profitability. If you are having good rankings, then I would suggest you to keep the current description else you may lose them. But in other hand, in the recent times Meta description isn't important at all for SEO purposes and does not affect ranking. It is an instruction to the SE for what text to display with your search result, and if it is missing the SE will simply display a piece of your content instead. The importance of it is in marketing, because a well written description will encourage browers to click through to your site.

    Yes, changing meta description will definitely reflect in your ranking position. If you are already ranking well for a keyword, make sure thats not changed in your meta description. Including keywords in the title will be more effective than including it in the description.

    This is correct, with the exception that it is a suggestion to Google on what to display. The description displayed in the search results can vary based upon the query entered.

    The meta description does not influence search rankings to any large degree, thus I would not worry about changing it from a rankings perspective. It is only one of 200+ factors in Google's algorithm, and hardly one of importance when it comes to increasing rankings.
