 * In general, No, because categories are hierarchical and you can have the same
   name in multiple places of the hierarchy and they are different categories.
 * In practice, Yes, you can write a filter that changes the permalink everywhere
   it’s used, but it would be easier to just change the parent of the subcategory
   to one level up.

 * Actually, let me amend my statement. You are wanting to remove the taxonomy part
   of the permalink? Or was that just a generic way to show your example?
    You can
   remove the “category” portion, but they it might conflict with existing page 
   names.

 * Thank you for your answer.
    I’m trying to change the subcategory taxonomy. Do
   you have any idea how to make it happen? A code?
