I don't see how it can be done. You'd be running the old kernel
until you rebooted.
There are some parameters that can be tuned via echoing values into
some pseudofiles under /proc, but as for changing something that's
already running, I don't think so. But it would be very intriguing
to be proven wrong on this :).
