How do I change my permalink structure to a custom structure on an established blog?

function to set permalink to /%postname%/ on theme activation
You could, but I’d actually highly advise against that. In quite a few cases that will cause lots of 404 errors.
Auto Changing Text Case

How to link to custom “archive like” page with custom permalink rules “dynamically”
