I think the product key is encrypted into the hive file. It is a hash. To change it the original file must be de-encrypted, or deleted completely and windows 2000 reinstalled with the new key.
I do not know of any program or hack available to decrypt the hive and re-encrypt it. There is a program to reset/change the admin password hash, but not for the product key.

Try x-teq setup. It's a very nice tweak utility, which should solve your problem.
