I have a site to site VPN set up. Going forward I would like to take
the outside interface IP that is encrypted inside the packet to
another IP. Basically there is a router in front of the ASA and it
gets a number of 192.168.1.5 for example. When the ASA sends the
packet over the VPN tunnel encrypted it of course says the source is
192.168.1.5. I basically want to change that number to represent the
outside IP address. Is this possible? The IP header on the packet
does show the static outside address just not the encrypted ip header
field.

Your question is not clearly stated.

Encapsulation is what is being discussed, not encryption.
Outside interface address of which device, the ASA or the router?
You are referring to changing an inner (encapsulated) address here, but
later refer to changing an outer (encapsulating) address.

"Of course" because the router uses NAT, or "of course" because the
router is doing the encapsulation rather than the ASA?

This says you want to change an outer (encapsulating) address.

It would be best if you stated:

* Which device is doing the encapsulation.
* Are you using NAT, and if so, on which device.
* Which ESP Mode is currently being used with your IPSec transform
(Tunnel, Transport).
* Are you using GRE.
