Changing the ID of the type information object breaks the (very
loose, by design) connection between the content and the type info;
if you really need to modify the ID (rather than setting the Title,
as Magnus suggested), you will need to write an ExternalMethod which
finds all instances of the type and calls '_setPortalTypeName' with
the new ID on them.
