Changing the app id is strongly discouraged, as it's used to uniquely identify the app within Splunkbase, which is necessary for checking for updates by users as well as tracking download stats.

If you still wish to use a new app id, you can reupload the package as a new app and request to delete the original app.

I'm not positive, but based on this session from conf this year, it doesn't sound like you can. He talks about it around the 5:30 point in the recording.
