You don't specify where you want to correct this information. If it is in Family Tree, that article will outline how to do this. Do always include the source references that show your corrections are accurate.

If you are referring to FamilySearch indexes, the indexes should only be corrected to agree with the original record they are transcribed from. They should not be changed to agree with other records.

Also, of course, if working in Family Tree, be sure you are working on the right people and not ones where the birth date looks incorrect because it is for a different person with the same name and is correct that person. In that case, you need to either find or create a new profile for the person whose passport you have.
