  You cannot "change" it, you can tell the parser to use a specific
encoding there is a number of API in xmlIO.h which allow to create
I/O streams where the encoding is passed like
   xmlParserInputBufferPtr
   xmlParserInputBufferCreateFilename (const char *URI, xmlCharEncoding enc)
and it's from there possible to create a context and feed it with 
the given stream. It takes a bit of code, it's not a simple call,
it's feasible, but left as an exercise because the Right Thing to do
is to fix your data.
