    I want to know that can I change Geographical Target for a .pk domain in Google webmasters?

    By default it is set to Pakistan and there is no option to change the target............

    No. You cant do it. Theres no way :(
    But please note that targeting only helps you to rank higher for your country ( Pakistan as i think) But its not a reason that your website will be in lower positions for other countries.
    So don't be worry about it :)

    dot country domains are itself meant to target specific country therefore the geographical location can't be changed.

    If your question really mean if Google can rank it for some other country - The answer is include your site in your google webmaster tool. Over there you can change the targeting for country specific domains.

    if your domain has .pk , .uk or .in then google automatically consider it for a particular geographical location. It is clearly written in google webmaster tool that you need to update/set geographical location for site that has .com , .org and likewise.

    No,you cant change geographical target for a .pk domain as country domains are actually targeting specific countries.

    No you cannot, for any .xx(country code) domain, you cannot change

    the suggestion is: make more site on ther country code, even duplicate, does not matter
