Depends on what you want to do, and what type it is.
If you've changed wheel size or gearing, and wants the odo to measure correctly, you need to have it calibrated. If it's a mechanical unit, this means that you'll have to change a tiny cogwheel somewhere to one with another tooth count. If it's an electronic odo, you need to use a gadget called a pulse divider, which is quite tricky.
If it's an electronic one, and you've replaced the instrument cluster, and/or the odo, and want the new one to display properly, an authorized dealer workshop should be able to reprogram it for you.
If it's a mechanical one it'll basically have to be disassembled and reassembled to matche the old number, although really old versions can be manipulated by spinning the odo cable with an electric drill.
If you're looking to remove a few miles to get a better price when selling the car - well, that's illegal.
