This is possible, but you must have the old passphrase to do it. It's
not possible in the situation where you have lost your passphrase. GPG
wouldn't be secure if you could.

The question that I have is why would you want to do this? Valid
reasons have been discussed on this list before, but I'm curious about
your situation. There may be better ways of doing what you want.
