Sure, if you change the clauses in it that cause it to be unenforceable. However, if the contract is already signed, then you're going to have a hard time getting the person to sign it again after changes. They have no reason to, if you're not providing some form of compensation for the change. And as the original contract was unenforceable, they're not bound by it, either.

Legality of object is one requirement for a contract to be enforceable. Any contract to do an illegal act is unenforceable even if the consideration has been paid. The court won't even make the other person give you your money back if you paid someone to commit a crime and that person later refused. Technically, that is a breach of contract, but since the object of the contract (commission of a crime) is illegal, the contract is unenforceable in the courts.
