There are a few different ways one can change things:
- The first and the cheapest is to get a keyboard skin which offers the key mapping you want. Here's one source: Kuzy Skins
- The second is to swap out the keycaps as needed: TheBookYard - KeyCaps
- The third and the most expensive way is to replace the keyboard completely: MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Late 2013-Mid 2014) Upper Case Assembly following this IFIXIT guide: MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013 Upper Case Assembly Replacement

Because I need a more permanent solution, I was rather thinking about the option 2-3. Do you think an Apple Aurhorized Repair Center might do it for you? As it’s a 2013 Mac the AppleCare expired.
Take a look at this YouTube Vid: How To: Replace or Clean your MacBook, MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air Keyboard Keys. I think you'll agree its not to hard to do your self, patience is the key. ;-}
As for someone doing it for you locally, sure an independent repair shop can do the same popping off the keys as needed and replacing them.
As for replacing the uppercase I would let Apple do that if they are willing. I haven't tried asking them before so you'll need to call them.
Hi! I have a European layout Keyboard from Italy but I want a Meyboard cover for American Keyboard.
