hi,
man cryptsetup should answer your queries. there are links at the end
of the manual you might wanna visit.
when i had this problem ( i had encrypted my /home), i took a backup
of /home, unmounted it, removed the encryption and remounted /home and
got back the files and folders from the backup.
as for your second question: i have a suggestion though i haven't
tried that myself. when you alter an encryption key, the procedure is
to create a separate key as, say key number 2, then disable the key
number 1 and then use key number 2. you may try creating the key
number 2, and not disabling key number 1, and then try mounting the
file system using key number 2. if all is ok, then you can give the
key number 2 to underprivileged user ... my answer is based on my
thinking that you want to have a key for yourself and a separate key
for others. is that so ?
also, try to search in the fedora-list archives for encrypting a
partition thread.. the discussions there will give you a good idea.

amit.

Thank you Amit,
Somehow, it was really hard finding a starting point.. It was all very
confusing -_-
