I don't know of a way to do what you are asking right off, but to "cheat" you could make a new sprite directly on top of the old sprite and have the new sprite contain the old texture. Change the underlying texture. Then fade out the top sprite (and remove it) when finished.

Check the cocos2d sprite tests. You will find examples of how to animate your sprites in there.
