Can the certificate expiry date be changed?

Is it possible to change the certificate expiry date for certificates issued by a Certifcate Authority?  Can it be programmatically done?  Also, for expired certificates, can it be renewed, ie. I don't have to re-issue a new certificate?

Is it possible to change the certificate expiry date from the certificate authority?  Is there some setting in the CA that I can modify programmatically?
pcssecure,

you need to renew the certificate in order to change the expiration date... there is no way around it...
