If you installed from a package your distribution will generally have a
way to switch versions (e.g., update-alternatives in Debian).  If that
is the case you should ask in a distribution-specific forum (web forum,
mailing list, IRC, etc.).

If you installed from tarballs, valac is just a symlink to the
valac-0.XX.  Just remove the old symlink and create a new one to the
desired executable.
