Use the function:
SetSRID(geometry) to update the geometry in your table, i.e.
UPDATE mytable
SET the_geom = SetSRID(the_geom)=4326
I've never done it, anyone see problems with it?

Ok, this sounds like something that needs a better user interface to
be done cleanly... AFAIK you have to hack it.
I'd try to update the geometry_column first (setting the SRID to the value
4326) and then update the your spatial table using the setSRID() function
on the geometry column.
If the constraints dinamically check SRID from geometry_columns
table that should work.
