If you change in the schematic, the netlist calls what footprint you want.

The netlist is calling a footprint. You could make any footprint have that name, but is it a good idea?

Allegro is a netlist driven tool. That means the netlist supplies the footprint information and there is not a normal override as that would break the rules.. As docb stated, correct the netlist and Allegro will correct the footprint.

But...should you require a hammer there is an option. Try Logic->Part Logic and follow the prompts. Good luck!
