The only entity that can change/amend the license of a piece of software is 
the copyright holder.  You should get the upstream author to make this 
change and prepare a new upstream version that you can package.

If upstream is resistant to releasing a new version for the licensing 
change, but are willing to amend the license, include some sort of witness 
(usually, an email) testifying to upstream willingness in the debian source 
package and then make the change -- preferably using a patch system, 
although that may be considered overkill if it is the only change you are 
making.
