Only UKBA can do those changes to your visa so you should contact them.
This will make no difference - as per the link I have posted and your initial reply Deviser, HTS status does not mean that a student will be given permission to work.
We don't know
- what HTS institute the friend is studying at (whether it is private or HEI/Public funded FE college
- whether he is sponsored by a publicly funded HE college/HEI although studying at a partner private college
- when he made his application.
The rules are clear - if you applied after 4 July 2011:
"You are not allowed to work in the UK if you are on a course at any level with an education provider that is not a UK higher education institution or a publicly funded further education college (unless you are on a short-term study abroad degree programme at an overseas higher education institution)."
