Nope.

rfc2251, 3.2.1. Attributes of Entries:

   Servers may restrict the modifications of this attribute to prevent
   the basic structural class of the entry from being changed (e.g. one
   cannot change a person into a country).

I haven't tried, but I expect you must either delete the entry and
reinsert it with its new structural object class, or keep object class
'person' and let 'reserved' be an auxiliary class or a subclass of
'person'.
