    Yes,

    It involves removing the transformer and rewinding it, deleting all the irrelevant outputs and calculating new resistors for the voltage monitoring circuitry...

    Thats for starters....

    If you are only changing to 12V, 20A, it is still only 240W. If that is still within the original total rating of the supply then the primary circuit should not need to be re-engineered.

    If you're expecting to increase the total power out, then it may not be possible in the same package, even with advanced skills.
