Is it possible? Yes.
Is it wise? No!
You would be better advised to bring up a new domain controller, migrate the
Global Catalog and all FSMO/DNS/DHCP/etc functions to it, then demote the
original domain controller to a member server. Once that's done you can
migrate applications off it and onto the new server, then re-configure the
applications to see the new server rather than the old one. Then the old
server may be retired and rust (or rest?) in peace.
