I am on AWS, have created a VM with virutalization type PV. Due to some reasons I want to change the virtualization type to HVM.

Can that be done? Please explain how.

There is no easy way to convert PV to HVM. There are multiple steps involved and there is no guaranteed solution. Search StackOverflow for a solution. See Amazon EC2: how to convert an existing PV AMI to HVM

If you had launched a PV linux VM and installed the software from scratch, then the best way is to launch a HVM version of linux instance and then install the software again. There will not be any surprises once your instance starts running.
