I have a machine which I have accidentally install 32-bit 12.04 LTS on.

(Yes, accidentally. I can't recall how I managed that.)

What is the easiest way to fix this? Mucking about with the kernel files or axing it with a reinstall?

Is it possible and safe to have a dual boot of 32 and 64-bit 12.04 LTS?

Just reinstall. The way to fix it would be immensely time consuming and complex.

As long as you have a 64-bit CPU, there will be no conflict between dual-booting. The two installations will be completely isolated from each other and will perform independently.
