You can do this using a classic halogen exchange reaction called a Finkelstein reaction.

CH33CH22Br +NaI ⇌ CH33CH22I + NaBr

Just add ethyl bromide (a.k.a. bromoethane) to anhydrous acetone (a.k.a. propan-2-one) and Sodium Iodide.

The reaction proceeds via an SN2 mechanism and shifts to the right due to the precipitation of NaBr which is almost insoluble in acetone in contrast to sodium iodide which is soluble

Ch3ch2I+ KCN(alc) ➡️ ch3ch2CN

ch3ch2CN + LiAlH4 ➡️ ch3ch2ch2nh2

Ch3ch2ch2nh2 + KI ➡️ ch3ch2ch2I + KNH2.
