You can for example drop the clustered primary key and then create the primary key with NONCLUSTERED definition. For example:

SQL

ALTER TABLE MyTable ADD CONSTRAINT PK_MyTable PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED (MyKey);

Yes, You can do but you primary key constraint will also be deleted.

And yes you can have the non clustered index on primary key.

You can use below

SQL

alter table dbo.Table drop constraint pk_id

alter table dbo.Table add constraint pk_id primary key nonclustered (id)
