You can't alter the VPC routing of any of the IP addresses (v4 or v6) assigned to an AWS VPC.
Which is, fundamentally, half the problem with IPv6 in AWS. I'd have much preferred that they'd added the ability to do actually-useful IPv6 routing rather than IPv6-only subnets, which strikes me as more of a toy than something *actually* useful. - Matt
