Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. My name is Nicolas and I will be happy to help you today.

Yes, it is possible to change the original language.

It's a two step procedure, let me explain:

First take product that has lang2 as original content, and enter its translation in lang1

Step 1 - Disconnect lang1 from lang2:

Step 2 - Reconnect lang1 to lang2 BUT in the pop-up choose to make lang1 as default:

I also make this quick video to make it easier to understand:
