If want to create a new commit with a valid submodule sha1 then you can simply checkout the submodule at the desired commit and commit that change in the superproject. As far as changing the existing commit is concerned. That is not possible wihout rewriting history. If your commit is on a branch which nobody else is using you can use rebase to modify that commit. If it is on a shared branch its not easy since everybody will notice and would have to reset to the new history which will be a hassle.
