You can resolve your issue by setting up your cache TTL to 0. Go to "AWS Dashboard | S3 | Your bucket | Your file | Edit Properties | Metadata". There set your "Cache-Control" value to "max-age=0".

More information here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Expiration.html

As is the case with pretty much every CDN, you have to invalidate the cache to get the CDN to start serving the new version. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/Invalidation.html

I would suggest reading all the content at that link under the "Adding, Removing, or Replacing Objects in a Distribution" section. Actually I would suggest reading all the CloudFront documentation so that you can understand how the service you are using works.
