The problem is simple and I do not find a solution until now.
When you plug a Cobbler on a Pi then you cannot connect a PiFace ( http://mchobby.be/wiki/index.php?title=PiFace-Manuel ) .
When you connect a PiFace on a Pi then you cannot connect a Pi Cobbler.
However, there are situation where this should be quite usefull.
PiFace (that can be programmed under Python) uses SPI interface and I would like to use the I2C bus under Python (for AdaFruit LedBackPack, or AdaFruit LCD + Keypad).
This should be possible (from programming perspective)... but the issue in on the connector which does not allow to connect something + a Cobbler.
Note: the PiFace connector is already soldered... so no way to remove it and replace it
Does anyone has an affordable idea?

sounds like it's time to break out the solder wick and prepare a list of your favorite expletives. once you've removed the offending part and exorcised your vocabulary you can install one of these.
(sparkfun once ran a blog entry on an interesting and particularly energetic method of solder removal. heat the solder, then slap the board on the table. i don't think this would be good for the mechanical relays on your board, though.)
