This is a headache.
If you want to do it right, first of all you've got to sand the top down to the bare wood. Then you've got to sand out or somehow remove the old rosette. Then you've got to carve a space with a circle-saw for the new one. Then you've got to inlay the new one. Then you've got to refinish the top. All very labor-intensive and time consuming... and not to be attempted if you don't have the proper tools and the workshop space.
What another poster said about buying a new rosette decal makes a heck of a lot more sense than going through all that.
Why can't you just leave well enough alone? It's not going to improve the sound of your instrument in any way.
