Of course you can. As long as there is no foreign key referring to that primary key. If there is, you need to drop that too. The actual syntax depends on the RDBMS you are using. SQL is just a language name.
Here is how you can do it in SQL Server: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190621.aspx[^]

Once it is dropped you can recreate is as easy as you created it before.
