Changing Country of Birth..

One of my friend (who is British Citizen Now) asked me if it is possible to change the country of birth in the passport?
She claimed asylum as Romanian national however she actually was born in Ukraine.
Is it possible?
what are the implications?

thanks

Before us, Ms Tanner served on the sponsor a Notice of Decision under s40 of the British Nationality Act 1981, depriving the sponsor of his citizenship. We advised the sponsor to seek legal assistance in connection with it. [/quote]

Am surprised Romanians can claim asylum unless it is a very old case.
Then, one can be Romanian national born in Ukraine, as can be Romanian national born in the UK or any other country. So why would it be the problem? Unless she is Ukrainian actually, not Romanian...
And borders moved after WWII and Romania lost its north-eastern territories to Soviet Union (now Ukraine and Moldova). Was she born before WWII?

As per Vinny's post...she risks having her British Citizenship revoked.
