I am trying to update the existing FIELD from default to not\_analyzed,  
without changing the mapping of the index.

Please try if this will work for you:  
curl -XPUT '[http://localhost:9200/index\_name/\_mapping/type\_name](http://localhost:9200/index_name/_mapping/type_name) ' -d '  
{  
"properties" : {  
"field\_name" : {"type" : "string", "store" : "yes","index" : "not\_analyzed"}  
}  
}'
