Can you upgrade this?

In PFS, for 2pp, you get a single item worth up to 750gp. For a strength bow, that's a mwk composite with +3 Str. But I have 18 Str. I'd like to be able to take the +3 Str bow to the bowyer, he looks at it and says "hey, good bow! I can just add another layer here, swap the string, and presto! +3 becomes +4 for 100gp!" Any rules on this?

No you cannot upgrade a bow strength rating because it is not just the string, PFS and rules wise,, you would just have to buy another bow. Now the Adaptive Enchantment could help you here but thats about it.

Buy a regular str 18 bow for PP, buy a casting of Masterwork Transformation for 375 gp when you need it. As of Organized Play 4.2, you can have one casting of the spell persist.

huh? I always thought the Bow had to be Masterworked in order to have a strength rating... It looks like I was wrong.
