Don't think you want to do that. You will probably have issues with the title to the car. I would just keep the receipt for the motor with the mileage and date on it, in case you sell the vehicle. I have seen titles with "not actual mileage" on them. Scares the crap out of a potential buyer.

Agree with the above. I usually don't think of "miles" when thinking motors anyway. Potential buyers will be more interested in the types of trips made with the car, driving habits, length of trips, etc than actual miles. If a car had 500 miles on it but they were all from passes at the strip Vs. 50,000 highway miles in 6th gear, 75mph...... stuff like that. Mileage IMO tells you a lot about the rest of the car usually, but not necessarily motor. (of course there are extremes to both cases)

It's illegal in any state to roll back mileage - no matter waht the reason. You can send it to a cluster repair place but you will need to fill out and sign documents as to the actual mileage which is where they'll set it. The last inspection or sale had a record, so the next inspection will raise a flag. Now if you want to buy a spare cluster, set the mileage back on it, then swap the original back in for inspections etc. you can do that I think. Just be aware it is a $10k fine for rolling back mileage.
i would try going to the dealership and telling them that you cracked your old cluster and fried the computer or something and bought a new one on ebay and wish to reset it to the correct miles, then have them program it with the mileage you want. not sure if that i will work but it is worth a shot.
