Satu, Probably the easiest way to swap a file (although it's admittedly *not* that easy, yet) is to login as your local DSpace Administrator, and click on the "Edit" button when you are viewing the item in DSpace.
That button will bring you to a page to edit any information about the item. Unfortunately, this page is currently not very pretty, and only a librarian familiar with Dublin Core would have a chance at understanding it. :) In any case, if you scroll down to the "Bitstreams" section at the very bottom, you will see the ability to "Remove" existing bitstreams/files and "Add" new bitstreams/files. Please note that this doesn't update the qualified dublin core "format.extent" and "format.mimetype" fields automatically. So, you may wish to manually update those as well. In the future, you may also want to join the "dspace-tech" mailing list (I've copied it to this message), since oftentimes that can be a better place to post any specific questions about using DSpace software (or issues encountered). However, since there are a lot of questions asked there (both technical and non-technical) it sometimes does get a little busy at times.
