No, grompp is complaining because (I'm guessing, since you haven't provided us 
with an exact error message) you're specifying a completely nonexistent atom 
number somewhere.

Don't alter the topology numbering.  It is a different concept from number in a 
coordinate file.  All [moleculetype] definitions MUST start from 1.  If you 
alter it, grompp will fail for a different reason.  Sort out the grompp problem 
you have now, not the one you'll create by breaking your topology.
