If you could physically melt them down, yes, but the particles in the magnets are arranged in a certain way, and that's where they stay, yes the field can be altered and moved, but I'm under the assumption we're talking about basic ferrite, iron magnets, simple n/s pole bar magnets, their fields will remain exactly where they are.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
