If the key you are trying to make a SHA256 signature with is the same  
one that you signed this message with, then you can't.  It's a 1024- 
bit DSA key, and that key can only use a 160 bit hash.  (You can force  
it to use SHA256, but you'll still end up using only 160 bits of the  
256 bit hash).
