anyone know if you can change the plane than a sketch is on? Its for a single extruded part file, want to move it from the front plane to the right plane.

Sure, just try it! You can, but you may get crazy results depending upon the relationships within the sketch. Right click sketch, click edit sketch plane, reselect the new plane and exit.
You may try to block the entities in the sketch first for better results, then unblock when on the new plane; however, this will remove all external references.
Hi James,
Yes, RC on the feature and select the edit sketch plane icon.
Thanks everyone for refreshing my memory, I knew it was possible just couldnt remember how.
No problem, glad you found it.
Is there a way to do this for a 3dsketch?
You can't do this for a 3d sketch since by definition a 3d sketch isn't restricted to a single plane. If your 3d sketch has sketch elements that are on a plane and you want to move them you will need to edit the sketch, remove the relevant relations, and place new relations or dimensions to fully define the sketch.
Thanks Glenn. That did the trick.
