Is there any way to get your feed RSS be updated automatically in their
new address within every RSS-Reader, or RSS-fetcher that download it?
Is there any tag I can add to the feed to get this?
Thanks

With RSS 2.0 you can't (AFAIK). With RSS 1.0 (and the Syndication
module) or with Atom you can suggest a schedule for revisiting the
feed. Note though that the spec for RSS 2.0 does sometimes change, so
one might have been added since.

In general though, I'd suggest offering newsfeeds in Atom format as
it's a better format, pretty well supported these days and you don't
often need the RDF model for general newsfeed use.

If you're coding an aggregator, the best practice is to use some form
of exponential backoff algorithm that dynamically adjusts its revisit
schedule according to how often it find the feed content is changing
(i.e. visit more frequently until either a limit is reached, or the
proportion of unchanged content climbs).

Thank you, but

improvement?

If you're re-writing existing work, it might be easier to go to RSS
1.0 (less change), with an addition like this
