It is not clear (to me) exactly what question you are asking. Are you
asking if it is possible to change the parent of a datastore entity
after it has been created? AFAIK, the answer is no, because the parent
is an inherent part of the identity of the entity...which also cannot
be changed. You have to create a new entity with the new parent,
delete the old, and update all references to the old entity to point
at the new one.

As far as your code example, many people (including myself) are not
going to download and open a zip file from unknown sources.  You will
get a better response by including the smallest possible code snippet
that shows exactly the problem you are trying to solve.
