You cannot change it.
But you don't need to either.
It is character set for "system" usage - usernames, table, column names
etc.
To use KOI8-R in MySQL client you need to
1. Be sure you can actually type and see koi8-r characters - you need to
setup you terminal program/console properly for this
2. Issue "SET NAMES koi8r;" from mysql command line client or start it
with --default-character-set=koi8r (or put
default-character-set=koi8r in ~/.my.cnf) - to inform the server that
you send queries and want to receive results in koi8r charset.
That's all!
Regards,
Sergei
