Question: I'm running Linux Mint right now. Is it possible to change distro to ... for example OpenSuse - without a clean install ?

No, the package systems, management tools, and configs for Debian (what Mint uses) and OpenSUSE are different. Technically, if you had tons of time and a solid understanding of Linux inside and out, you might be able to pull it off, but it's not worth the hassle at all.
