EPDM Catagories. Can these be changed

I know once your initial check in has taken place, and your category is assigned that there is no way to change this via the admin tool and such.
However, I believe there must be a way to manually change the category by accessing the database on the archive server and simply editing that field.

Has anyone had any experience with editing fields directly through the database?
