Database Workbench cannot do that - and has good reasons
for it.

Firebird disallows this change because of the automagically
created indices for PKs. FKs can point to a PK.

Simply changing the underlying datatype is not a particular
good idea.

The best thing you can do is:
- drop any dependent FKs
- drop the PK
- change the datatype
- recreate the PK
- recreate the FKs
