It's possible, I once changed the uid for a user from 1001 to 1000 and

was much work to change really the real files. At least nobody should do
it without making a backup first, anyway, -1001 from me. It worked for
me, but I never ever will do it again and I won't recommend to do it.
'usermod' with the --uid and --gid options will adjust the contents of
the user's home directory.
For items outside the user's home directory, 'chown' offers the --from
option to reduce mistakes.
