I suppose you would examine pg_class.relhassubclass for true values. You
can then find the oids of child classes in pg_inherits. You're better off
examining the SQL that created the tables in the first place especially if
you are going to modify the tables this way.
As for actually modifying - you've got all that data in your child table
pertaining to inherited attributes. You'll probably do something like
renaming the existing subclass out of the way, create the new class and
then just populate the new table.
