Sodium is an alkali metal, and it is from Group 1 on the Periodic Table. That group is the vertical column down the far left side of the periodic table. The elements in that group are hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). Wikipedia has a nice post on this group of elements, those in Group 1 of the periodic table, and a link is provided to the post. You'll find that link below.
No, it is not possible to directly change potassium nitrate into sodium nitrate. These are two different compounds with different chemical compositions and properties. To obtain sodium nitrate from potassium nitrate, you would need to first separate the potassium and then introduce sodium in a separate chemical reaction.

Potassium and sodium are both metals. They belong to the alkali metal group of the periodic table, which is known for its highly reactive properties.
The alkali metal family consists of the elements lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium. These elements share similar chemical properties, including being highly reactive and forming alkaline solutions when they react with water.
The sodium-potassium pump moves sodium ions out of the cell and potassium ions into the cell. The pump functions using energy from ATP hydrolysis. The pump maintains the chemical and electrical gradients of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. The pump is found only in prokaryotic cells and not in eukaryotic cells.
Lithium, sodium, and potassium belong to the alkali metal family in the periodic table. They share similar chemical properties such as being highly reactive and easily forming ions with a +1 charge.

Potassium is the element that has chemical properties most similar to sodium. Both elements belong to Group 1 of the periodic table, which means they have similar characteristics such as reactivity and the ability to form similar types of compounds.
Potassium, located right below sodium on the periodic table, has chemical properties most similar to sodium. Both elements belong to the alkali metal group and exhibit similar reactivity, such as readily losing their outer electron to form a +1 cation.
Potassium can displace sodium, as potassium is more reactive than sodium. When potassium is added to a solution containing sodium ions, a displacement reaction can occur where potassium replaces sodium in the chemical compound.
The chemical formula (not abbreviation) of sodium chloride is NaCl.
Sodium and Potassium belong to group one of the Periodic table. They both contain one electron in their outer shell. They form a chemical bond by donating the outer shell electron to another atom. The other atom will tend to accept electrons rather than donate them. Since sodium and potassium both donate electrons they cannot form a chemical bond with each other.
Potassium and lithium.
Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, potassium carbonate is KHCO3. The difference is that sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have very similar properties. Potassium bicarbonate is more soluble in water.
Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are both alkali metals and have similar properties, but sodium is less reactive and has a lower atomic mass (23 vs 39). Therefore, sodium's behavior can differ from potassium in terms of reactivity and overall chemical behavior, even though they belong to the same group on the periodic table.
Sodium belongs to the alkali metal family.
