How i can change the modifier of existing method?

PsiModifierList modifierLists = psiMethod.getModifierList();
modifierLists.setModifierProperty(PsiModifier.PRIVATE, true);

I can retrieve it but i can not set it back to the method (setter doesnt exist) .

Theodosios,

First of all, you can use a util method to make it shorter:

PsiUtil.setModifierProperty(psiMethod, PsiModifier.PRIVATE, true);

Can you also explain, what do you mean by setter doesn't exist?

Thank you it worked.
I wanted to do something like this:

psiMethod.setModifierList(modifierList);

But it worked the way you told me.
