Is there a way to change a symlink using Nautilus?

No. Unix symbolic links cannot be edited; they can only be deleted and re-created with a new target. Nautilus follows this model.

The symlink can be recreated thru a nautilus script.

There is these ones:
sec.Symlink.Edit.NautilusScript.sh, this one use zenity graphical ui to help on it.
sec.Symlink.MakeRelative.NautilusScript.sh

They are present and depend on ScriptEchoColor packages.

And must be symlinked to $HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
