It is theoretically possible to get a transferable number re-classified as non-transferable, but it's a risky procedure. I did it several years ago when there were still Local DVLA Offices and it was possible to deal with intelligent human beings, but I would be reluctant to attempt it today.
Basically, I re-registered my car with another 'cherished number' without retaining the original number, then put that new number on retention, and the car was re-issued with the original number, but now on a non-transferable basis.
