Changing CHAR to BINARY.

how can you change a CHAR column to BINARY safely, so that the ability to revert it back to CHAR is  not lost?
(can you allow a CHAR value to remain as such in BINARY? for example, a value of ABC123 in CHAR, can it be  made to remain the same after conversion to BINARY(6))
