The CDEF language has an LTIME operator that can do that.
Don't ask me for details, haven't ever used it.

That would be a clean solution. You could do it like this:
- "rrdtool dump" the database
- Use a regexp to extract the DS values from your RRA rows
- Change them to what you like
- "rrdtool restore" the database back to its binary form
