How to change framerate in REALTIME when video is PLAYING?

Then you need to modify the pipeline from your application. In
particular, you need to adjust the caps filter. Here you can find an
example how to do it:
http://gitorious.org/veter/veter/blobs/master/src/vehicle/VideoSenderThread.cpp#line264
It changes width and height property of the named (qos-caps) caps
filter by pausing the videoscale element in front of it, updating
width and height properties and then un-pausing the videoscale. So in
your case you can update the framerate property. However, as Kapil
pointed out to work properly, the downstream elements should be able
to re-negotiate the new format.

HTH,
Andrey.
