problem with changing a cellName of an instance

Hi everyone, I am facing a problem with changing the cellName of any Instance. Say I have selected "via12" in the layout. Now I use - ab=css() name=ab~>cellName now the cell name is "via12" say I want to change it to "via23" name="via23" ab~>cellNme=name this is not working. It is saying that this attribute cant change. for this reason I have to delete the "via12" and create "via23" having similar property. is there any way I can change the via12 to via23 without deleting and creating , with the help of changing the cellName ?

    I am explaining the prob with an example - say I have to change via12 to via23 for this I use - ab=css() ab~>cellName="via23" this code results in error message as attribute can't be updated. ab~>cellName is surely "via12". can't it be directly be changed like this? I am using alternate code for this which takes the instance parameters, then deletes it, then recreates it with different info of cellName my question is - Is it possible to change the cell name directly using ab~>cellName , without so much of circus of deleting and recreating ? Thanks in advance.
