Wanted to know if there is a an automated/reliable way to recreate a custom entity with modifications. E.g. If I want to disassociate queues (non-editable property) from an already created custom entity, is there any easy/reliable way to do this? Like in databases, we just drop the table and recreate it by re-running the modified script :)

You can recreate entity by using code.. which is supported way..
first you need to retrieve entity metadata from which you want to recreate entity, and pass the same information for entity create request..
Here is code to retrieve entity metadata..
msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg509032.aspx
and here is code sample to create entity
msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg509071.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg509014.aspx
Similar code you will find in MS CRM SDK also..
The intent of my question was to figure out if there is any way of re-creating the entity quickly without having to delete and re-create it from scratch. Something similar to the response below. I did not intend to create the entity the unsupported way or from the DB directly.
Thank you Guido Preite. This is the exact confirmation I needed to avoid recreating the solution/entity from scratch.
Entity creation or deletion should be done through crm ui or sdk..from database it is not suuported..if you delete from database it will affect on crm operations and might crm stop working..
so better approach is create new entity with supported way
