I swap cassettes all the time. The bike that gets this treatment the most has the chain length set for a 32T cassette but I'll swap to a 25T when I want closer-spaced gearing. I use the same chain for both. Works just fine.
Bubba does the same with his cross bike, swapping a 30T for a 25T.

Thanks for all the great advice! I went to my LBS to buy the tools, and the guy ended up changing it for me as he showed me how to do it, but it really did seem easy. I was glad he showed me though, cuz the tricky part was lining up the cogs correctly and it was just easier for him to show me than tell me. I put the wheel on, and it shifts smoothly without any derailleur adjustments. I think I'll take apart a really old wheel to practice on this weekend, to be sure I will remember what to do when I have to do it again.
