You can change, people can overcome lifelong phobias etc. You could suppress your death rune and enhance your life rune. Though not mentioned in the books that I can see I'm sure you can still use HP to reduce skills as well as increase them. But, given a powerful in-game situation, like a heroquest, I would be tempted to let them flip from death to life keeping the rating the same.
