You should first ask yourself why you want to do that and if that is
the correct thing to do. The vast majority of binary packages just use
the source package version and have no reason to do anything else.
It is possible though, you would need to pass the -v option to
dpkg-gencontrol for the package in question, for examples of how to do
that, check out this search:
