Hello:
There isn't a easy way. It can't be changed using the usual tools in Inkscape. You have to use the XML-editor (Shift+Ctrl+X), and use the "New Element Node" button. Also, don't forget defining the circle as "svg:circle".
- Maybe an inkscape extension, could be created, that transform Inkscape Ellipses, to SVG circles
If you have problems:
1.- Post a sample (or samples) of your file please.
2.- Please check here:
