The structure of the genes changing is a mutation.
The expression of genes is very flexible and dependents on multiple regulatory elements. You think you make exactly the same amount of insulin exactly every single hour of the day from the time you are born till the time you die?
Gene expression is changed over the course of a DAY.

The normal way gene expression is regulated involves promoters and repressors and other regulatory elements including transcription factors.
