nuclear force in side the nucleus is many times greater than gravity i such case can we modify it by overcoming such large force ?

one fellow is sugesting that it can be done using nanotechnology !!
is it true? can it be done ?

according to me only disintegeration is possible not modifying !! i think so
 

They can, but not with nanotechnology - how can you make a device smaller than a nucleus?
Modification using EM radiation (gamma rays) - see Mossbauer effect.
Modification by bombardment with nuclear particles.
 

I think Quib is right. Also atomic nuclei are modified in spontaneous radioactivity.
