Sounds like he just wants to make the digital readouts in his dash display stuff in terms of miles rather than kilometers.

Its common practice when importing a RHD vehicle from Japan into the UK. I used this www.speed-mate.com. http://www.ncs-systems.com/prod/1457 de-limits the car and converts ALL km/h readings to mp/h

The ECU does NOT hold the mileage information. It is held in the dash itself. I don't believe there is presently any software that can change it.

Thus if the mileage odometer is changed, it posts the kilometrage of

Yes, if the odometer is changed, the mileage is changed.

However, its almost always possible to trick the wheel sensor into adding mileage to the odometer. Maybe search google.
