Hmm ... I think you meant "like swapping the rook (aka the castle) with the 
king in Chess." The rook and queen can not swap places, but the king and 
rook do something very similar to swapping places (the king moves two 
squares towards the rook, and the rook is placed on the other side of the 
king).
