There is almost never a situation where a 50k attenuator could not replace a 100k attenuator without problems.
You can lower resistance of a pot by strapping a resistor between input and ground, increasing the resistance will have you putting a resistor in series with the pot either on the input or ground lugs of the pot. If you put the resistor in series before the input lug, you will lower the wide open signal by 3db. If you put the resistor between the ground lug and ground you will not be able to fully mute.
