If you mean interactively, i.e. you visited a buffer and then
discovered that it was decoded incorrectly, and the actual encoding is
different, then "C-x RET c cp1251 RET M-x revert-buffer RET" should do
what you want, I think.

What about the rest of the file? is it encoded in some other encoding?
If not, then the above recipe should do. If it doesn't, please tell
more details.

AFAIK, both spellings are right.
