Brief Answer:

Such changes are not possible

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Mere rubbing of your nose will not cause any changes in the shape or size of the nose.

Any changes in the shape of the nose could be developmental in origin and are usually related to septal cartilage deviation.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
