yes, dead easy

Just edit the pins_RAMPS.h file
Find these two block of code and swap all the numbers over, like for llike. eg Y_STEP_PIN becomes 36

#define E1_STEP_PIN        36
#define E1_DIR_PIN         34
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN      30
#define E1_CS_PIN          44

#define Y_STEP_PIN         60
#define Y_DIR_PIN          61
#define Y_ENABLE_PIN       56
#define Y_CS_PIN           49

speed??? There is feed rate, there is acceleration, there is microstepping..... there is no speed.

the change just physically swaps the two steppers over so E1 is now Y, nothing else has changed

All setting that are applied to Y still are applied to the new Y (formally E1)
