Change contactId of user ???

is there any way i can change contactId of user which is already created ?? not while creation of user.......

Probably not!
The field is not writeable and is only allowed at the time of creation.

ID is read only.
Why do you need to change the ID. Please post the Use case. Probably there are other alternatives.

You can clone the record and delete the original record though. But you will have to manually update all lookup references to this record.

Hope this helps.

Well its ContactId field of user.
Lookup to contact for portal user.

my use case is : i already have a contact which is referred in many custom objects.... a new user registers ... i want that user to be linked with this contact.. i cant do this during registration... and i dont want to change all refrences to my old contact with this new user contact ...
so what should i do..

Well I am confused with your requirement. Whenever a new user registers you want to do this ? I mean you want to link to existing contact ?
