I did it, I wrote an observer for change the increment_id

public function sales_order_creditmemo_save_before($observer)
  {


    $creditmemo = $observer->getCreditmemo();
    $order = $creditmemo->getOrder();
    $store_id = $order->getStore()->getStoreId();

    $entity_type_model=Mage::getSingleton('eav/config')->getEntityType('invoice');

    $new_incr_id = $entity_type_model->fetchNewIncrementId($store_id);

    $creditmemo->setIncrementId($new_incr_id);

  }
