It depends on what you mean by 'comment'.  If you mean the comment
that is part of your user ID, as in:

  My Name (my comment) <my.email at example.com>

Then no, you can't change it.  You can, however, make a brand new user
ID with a different comment (or no comment at all).  To do this, run
"gpg --edit-key (your key)" and then enter "adduid".
