Is it possible to change a unit's armor type via triggers?

Is it possible to change a unit's armor type (like from unarmored to light, or medium, fortified, hero, etc) using triggers or JASS? And WITHOUT recreating and replacing the unit.

i guess it is, maybe you should check out the fortifying upgrade for orc burrows, problem with upgrades is that it would affect all the units and you cannot remove it, i'm looking for another way but this is the only one i know right now

I'm not too concerned about it affecting all units since the player would have only one. Also, they wouldn't be able to remove it, only "replace" it with another armor type.

Root perhaps, it is however a very restricted ability.

so then you could use that upgrade, cause there is a trigger to add upgrades
