I can set custom content type when I create node for the first time, but how can I change it afterwards?

My code for setting content type:

String contentType = "{customNamespace}customLocalName";
CMLCreate create = new CMLCreate("1", parentReference, null, null, null, contentType, properties);‍‍

You have to use the ActionService and you have to execute the specialise-type action with a parameter for the target type:

Action action = new Action();
action.setActionName("specialise-type");
NamedValue[] actionParameters = new NamedValue[]{new NamedValue("type-name", false, "YOUR_CUSTOM_CONTENT_TYPE", null)};
action.setParameters(actionParameters);
WebServiceFactory.getActionService().executeActions(predicate, new Action[]{action});

Hope this helps.
