alter table <tablename> drop constraint ID unique;
alter table <tablename> drop constraint ID not null;

alter table <tablename> add constraint ID references table2 ;

Here is where you can find the documentation for this:
The "alter":
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?sql-altertable.html
The constraints:
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?sql-createtable.html
