svn:externals are a versioned property, so the "only way" to change
them is to check out a working copy, change it, and commit a new
revision.

I say "only way" in quotes because there is another option which
involves dumping the repository to a text file and modifying the
external references in the dumpfile, then loading it into a new
repository. Everyone who had working copies would probably have to
throw them away and check out new ones. A script was posted yesterday
to perform such dumpfile changes for you:
