IF the ID have "data", then, maybe IS NOT POSSIBLE changing because it can be used in a "Foregner Key" relationship...
Maybe you can create a new column, copy all ID data, delete any FK relationship, and try change the type... after this, try copy old data for it
---------- Solution 2
create a new DB with NO-Encryptation and change the column type... after, you can encrypt it as you need!

I think that, if the fields involved contain data already registered, then the type change cannot be done, as there would be loss of data. In this way, to try a type change, for any of the fields involved, it would be necessary to do the following:
1) create new columns to receive the copy of the old data; 2) copy the old data to the new columns, respecting the data conversion; 3) if everything goes as expected, delete the old columns.
In case there is a relationship between tables (PK -> FK), it will be even more difficult for everything to end well, because there are many other factors involved...
