You can't change the structural objectClass of an entry: that would be a
violation of the LDAP data model.

With OpenLDAP's slapd you can do this only by means of the "relax"
control, which relaxes consistency checks __during__ an operation, only
requiring them to be in force at the end of the operation (namely, with
that control in place you can change the structural objectClass of an
entry, but the resulting entry must comply with the LDAP specifications).

In OpenLDAP 2.3, the "relax" control is called "manageDIT" (not to be
confused with "manageDSAit"), and its OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.12
(it's experimental).

All you need to do consists in adding that control to the LDAP modify
request.
