Is there a way to change the key signature of an existing piece with out the notes transposing?

What I want to do is change the Key signature and notes stay exactly where they are on the staff

Truth of the matter is at the beginning of a piece I screwed up and listed the wrong key. I want to fix it w/out having to go back and list 1k naturals.

Thanks!

In the db for changing key, there are options near the bottom. I believe there are 2 options for keeping the same pitch: enharmonic and chromatic.
