Or you could use HighlightGraph to change option for now.
For example,
convertGraphOption[g_, opt___?OptionQ] := HighlightGraph[g, {}, opt]
g = CompleteGraph[5]
convertGraphOption[g, GraphStyle -> "SimpleLink", VertexStyle -> Red]

It seems new Graph objects are immutable.
Brett Champion suggested creating a new graph from the old one by
copying the old options and adding new ones. I'm not sure if there's a
generic way to copy all options from the old graph, but here's a
version that works for options describing vertex positioning.

I agree that having two Graph object is a little confusing. Some graph
functions like MinimumSpanningTree exist only in Combinatorica, while
all the vertex centrality related functions are for the new Graph. To
use all of Mathematica's graph functionality, one needs to convert
between System`Graph and Combinatorica`Graph objects. Has anybody
implemented such a routine?
I ended up using the following routine when I need to turn a Graph
object into Graph with vertex labels
(* converts graph to labeled *)
convLabeled[g_] := Module[{coords}, (
coords =
PropertyValue[{g, #}, VertexCoordinates] & /@ VertexList[g];
Subgraph[g, VertexList[g], GraphStyle -> "SimpleLink",
VertexCoordinates -> coords]
)
];
Another thing I was missing was a way to arrange the graph in a
topological sort up-down order like LayeredGraphPlot. LayeredDrawing
does not always do this. Luckily, you can do LayeredGraphPlot and take
it's vertex coordinates into Graph like below. Recipe below takes list
of edges and creates a Graph that looks like LayeredGraphPlot
(* extracts list of coordinates from VertexLabeled GraphPlot *)
getLabelCoordinateMap[gp1_] :=
Module[{points, labels, actualLabels, coordAliases, actualCoords},
points =
Cases[gp1, GraphicsComplex[points_, __] :> points, Infinity] //
First;
labels = Cases[gp1, Text[___], Infinity];
actualLabels = labels[[All, 1, 1]];
coordAliases = labels[[All, 2]];
actualCoords = points[[coordAliases]];
Thread[actualLabels -> actualCoords]];
(* gets node coordinates, takes edges as list of Rule's *)
getLayeredGraphCoords[edges_] := Module[{gg, vcoordmap, vlist},
gg = LayeredGraphPlot[edges, VertexLabeling -> True];
vcoordmap = getLabelCoordinateMap[gg];
vlist = VertexList[Graph[edges]];
vlist /. vcoordmap
]
Graph[edges,VertexCoordinates -> getLayeredGraphCoords[streeStr]]
