That was my mistake, I selected uid's and not the key.
I succeed to change the expiration date of the subkeys when I use the

i think the usual recommendation is to not bother updating expiration
dates on subkeys; just make a new subkey with the intended usage
flags,
and set a new expiration date. This should work fine for both
signing-
and encryption-capable subkeys as long as you re-publish your entire
OpenPGP cert to the keyservers after adding the subkey, and your
correspondents know how to update their keyrings.
I understand this.
is there a reason that you need to keep any particular subkey in use?
This key I use in private and mostly with family.
hth,
Thank you very much.
