Is it possible to change emacs's position in X from within emacs?  Or
even maximize the emacs window?  I would like it to go the upper left
corner.  One of the frame properties maybe?  Any help is appreciated.

TIA.

If I understand what you are asking correctly you want to be able to
change the position of the window using a facility of Emacs while
Emacs is running.
There is a built-in function that will do this, set-frame-position;
unfortunately it is not an interactive function.  So in order to use
it you will need to write a little interactive elisp function.  For
more information about set-frame-position look in the Emacs Lisp
reference manual (Frames -> Frame Parameters -> Size and Position). 
Or C-h f set-frame-position RET.
