Just modify .gro file, .top file and ions.itp file and get a new tpr file. And use the rerun option of mdrun to get a new trajectory.  Then you can calculate the hbond using the new trajectory.

We've used this trick before.  You don't actually even need to rerun the 
trajectory.  Given that .xtc and .trr files don't store atom names, the 
coordinates that were originally Cl are simply mapped to O in this case.
