I don't think you can convert an OS to 32 bit just like that. You need to reinstall the operating system entirely.

Yes a full reinstall will be needed. If you need to do this then your best option is to do a backup of any data and configurations, reinstall using the 32bit version and then restore.

Actually a std RHEL/Centos 64 bit install includes 32 bit libs also, as not all SW is avail in 64 bits versions. There should be no need to downgrade the OS.
