One Answer:

I do not understand why one would like to do such thing but there may be situations suggesting such a simplification.

That's not too difficult with JOSM:

create an "empty" new node
select the "old" way
copy it with "Ctrl-c"
select the new node
paste the way's propertys into the node with "Shift-Ctrl-V"
add a friendly note Tag to the new node containing "way/nnnnn" with nnnn being the id of the old way. doing this you keep a hint to the history of this object in OSM. I think that is important.
now you may delete the "old" way. (perhaps also containing the id of it in the changeset comment)
