Answer 1

seems like you can

var currentTime = new Date();
var hours:uint = currentTime.getHours(); 

then you can say, if hours is greater than or equal to 12, then subtract by 12, otherwise, add 12 to it, for example, by

public static const millisecondsPerHour:int = 1000 * 60 * 60; 
var reversedAMPM = new Date(currentTime.getTime() + (12 * millisecondsPerHour));

Answer 2

Although Jian's version should work, here's an alternative.
Assuming var date:Date is initialized, you may literally change it:

date.hours += (date.hours > 12) ? -12:12;
