No.
Once a work item is assigned to a particular type you can’t just migrate it. You probably could do it through direct db manipulation but this has a very high probability of breaking your TFS server. Don’t do it.
What you should be doing is closing the bug and recreating it as a feature request while establishing a link between the two.
