That depends on how you have implemented 'owning' a piece. If you have used the 'Restrict Access' trait to limit access to a particular side, you can't change the 'ownership'. Usually, you would just do this by having a Layer trait with two levels showing the different colors/symbols/etc. and have a command that changes between the two. >2.
