Answer #1
You need to first remove all the referential integrity constrains (FOREIGN KEY) from this table.
Then drop the current PRIMARY KEY constraint from this table and create a new one.

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
DROP CONSTRAINT <pk_constraint>;

ALTER TABLE <table_name>
ADD CONSTRAINT <k_constraint> PRIMARY KEY (<new columns>);
