I think it has been done, but it's all nuclear physics at that point. I saw something about changing mercury to gold in the presence of a certain radio-isotope, but I can't remember the details.

Glenn Seaborg did it in 1980-something. But that's easy. Some of our brightest (al)chemists are working on a way to do the same thing using only chemical means, plus a few choice spells and a prayer to Termagent.
