Gordon,
The phrase "unsecure private key" is new to me, but if by that you mean
what is more commonly called the "public key" then you cannot do what you
want. That is the whole point of public/private key pairs. You can tell
everyone the public part but they can't use the public part to derive the
private part.
Sorry, but you'll have to generate a new public/private keypair. If you
cannot be sure that your previous private key was securely destroyed, you
should consider revoking your certificate if you had one issued.
