'change' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recast that I've seen before include "Give an actor a different role" , "Present in a different form" , "Put into a different form" , "reconstructed" , "given new form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
