I have just purchased an 800 watt microwave oven but the supplied 3 pin plug and cable is too short to reach the socket. Can I safely change the lead for a longer one, and is there a maximum length?

There should be no problem replacing the flex for a longer one.
But be careful when poking around microwaves, they can still hold a voltage even when powered down.
What sort of length are we talking about?
Providing the socket outlet is not something stupid like 180 metres away from the appliance, that should be fine.
