Normally this is not possible and the only option is to cancel and hope that the award space will be re-released (which is unlikely with ANA right now).
However I had an experience a while ago where the VS agent misspelled the other passenger’s name and when I called to get it rectified they said that ANA does not allow name changes even for spelling mistakes (appears to be correct). But the agent managed to “park” the space and reissue a new ticket.
I had to add my middle name to one and they refused to do anything but cancel it. Canceled it without me asking to add my name thinking she could rebook it, and the flight was no longer available. Had to cancel my entire trip after that. Not sure about the parking thing, but it's very YMMV.
