Hi All,

I found the solution, Find the code for the same


   /**
    * Code for specialising the content Type
* @param registry
* @param actionedUponNodeRef
* @param destinationType
* @return
*/
public static boolean specialiseType(ServiceRegistry registry, NodeRef actionedUponNodeRef ,QName destinationType )
    {
       boolean specialise = false;
      if (registry.getNodeService().exists(actionedUponNodeRef) == true)
      {
          // Get the type of the node
            QName currentType = registry.getNodeService().getType(actionedUponNodeRef);

            // Ensure that we are performing a specialise
            if (currentType.equals(destinationType) == false &&
                  registry.getDictionaryService().isSubClass(destinationType, currentType) == true)
            {
                // Specialise the type of the node
               registry.getNodeService().setType(actionedUponNodeRef, destinationType);
               specialise = true;
            }
      }
      return specialise;
    }

After changing the type, set the properties
