I think the only way to change it would be to get an OBDII connector and hook it up to a laptop with a copy of VAG-COM.  Then it may be possible.

The ODBII connectors are common on ebay for about 30 quid, i think you an get a freeware version of VAG-COM.

Only other way would be to find a mileage correction company and get them to do it, but I think you would be looking at about ?100 (thats what I was quoted for a pug 306, when the clockset was replaced on that, although that went from 50k down to Ok). Do a google search because there are some about. Only illegal to change if you falsify mileage, i.e. your car has 200k and you change it to 50k!!
