This will depend whether you laced wrong to begin with or not. The spoke holes are drilled close to one side or the other (sometimes it's very slight, but all rims have offset spoke holes); right spokes go in the right drilled spokes, left to left. If you laced the wheel wrong with the spokes in the wrong side holes, than yes, you can move all the spokes over one hole. If not you will need to start over..
