changing inode of a file

hi everyone,

I was kind of wondering if we could change the inode
number of a file in it's inode structure. Is it
possible to do.

What i would like to do is :

file 1 has inode: 12345
file 2 has inode: 67890

I run a program within which I change the file 2 inode
to be 12345 and the file 1 inode to be 67890 . Then
maybe before the program ends i can change back
everything to normal.

Is this possible to do so ??

TIA

Karthik
