Is there any way to change the Ohm load that an amp can handle? For instance making a 2 channel amp capable of doing a 2 or even a 1 Ohm load bridged when it normally would only be able to do 4 Ohms bridged? Like upgrading the mosfets or caps or ...?
If this is a dumb question please feel free to kindly let me know.

Halving the load resistance means doubling the current, which means quadrupling the power lost in the system.
It would take rebuilding the case, rewiring, doubling up and/or replacing all the mosfets/transistors.
Adjusting design settings, protection circuits, gain settings, etc you may get away with as is.
not too much work really...

to answer your original question, yes. it is done, but the work is not cheap. many times you can upgrade components to handle more current, but you need to be able to do this to the whole system. next, figure out how much power it can safely run, and lower the voltage accordingly to not exceed that. this is done via torroid re-work and often needed to have the ps controller circuit modified to react to that voltage. someone who can, and is willing to put in the work needs to decide if that amp is even worth the effort, or should be kept at higher ohm loads.
