Are you just trying to replace an instance of a family that's been placed? If so you can select the instance and set its Symbol property equal to the Family Type you want to switch it to.
I take it from your posting history this is an API question rather than UI?
I'm no expert on MEP categories but the usual generic way you change one ElementType for another is by:
Element.ChangeTypeId
Generally if you change an ElementType from what it currently is to one from another family of the same category so be it.
You should review if there are any utility methods within Plumbing namespace to see if there is anything better than the above (to maintain other relationships that may be affected by such a change which I'm not aware of).
sorry my fault 🙄, no the family is already modeled in the model, but because of the price or the customer's choice we have to change brands so it's not an instance
