You can do this using the ITestContext

For some reason you cant really update a result which is already generated. The workaround is to add the same result, remove it, update it then add it again. The only way I have found to remove a result is to do the add and remove sequence.

def testContext = Reporter.currentTestResult.testContext
testContext.passedTests.addResult(result,Reporter.currentTestResult.method)
testContext.passedTests.getAllMethods().remove(Reporter.currentTestResult.method)
result.setStatus(ITestResult.FAILURE)
testContext.failedTests.addResult(result,Reporter.currentTestResult.method)

I am using Groovy.

Try setCurrentTestResult() method from class org.testng.Reporter:

result.setStatus(ITestResult.FAILURE);
Reporter.setCurrentTestResult(result);
