Cao Huu Loc's answer with swift 4

extension NSLayoutConstraint {

    func constraintReplacing(firstItemWith newFirstItem: UILayoutSupport, withAttribute newFirstAttribute: NSLayoutAttribute) -> NSLayoutConstraint {
        return NSLayoutConstraint(item: newFirstItem, attribute: newFirstAttribute, relatedBy: relation, toItem: secondItem, attribute: secondAttribute, multiplier: multiplier, constant: constant)
    }

    func constraintReplacing(secondItemWith newSecondItem: UILayoutSupport, withAttribute newSecondAttribute: NSLayoutAttribute) -> NSLayoutConstraint {
        return NSLayoutConstraint(item: firstItem as Any, attribute: firstAttribute, relatedBy: relation, toItem: newSecondItem, attribute: newSecondAttribute, multiplier: multiplier, constant: constant)
    }
}

class YourViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        for constraint in view.constraints {
            if constraint.firstItem === view && constraint.firstAttribute == .top {
                let newConstraint = constraint.constraintReplacing(firstItemWith: topLayoutGuide, withAttribute: .bottom)
                view.removeConstraint(constraint)
                view.addConstraint(newConstraint)
            }
            if constraint.secondItem === view && constraint.secondAttribute == .top {
                let newConstraint = constraint.constraintReplacing(secondItemWith: topLayoutGuide, withAttribute: .bottom)
                view.removeConstraint(constraint)
                view.addConstraint(newConstraint)
            }
        }
    }
