It should be possible, if you're careful (entirely unsupported, though,
so if it breaks you get to keep both pieces). After a model class has
been parsed at import time, all the information about the Field classes
resides in the _meta attribute, which is an Options class from
django/db/models/options.py. The fields themselves are all subclasses of
Field, which is in django/db/models/fields/__init__.py. Both of those
files are fairly well documented in the comments, so it should be fairly
straightforward to read through the Field class (as a starting point) to
work out what you need to change.
