Symlink is symbolic link. To change it, you have to first delete current one and make another. To make new symbolic link type following command:
ln /original/file /new/link
Editing this file will change current one. If you want make it for folders, then type following command:
ln -s /original/file /new/link
I hope that I have helped you!
