I've got an older website where the permalinks were set to just plain. I want to change it to the post names. Is there a way to do this without my latest posts being ruined?

If you have not done any backlinking to your website pages or interlinking that may result to a 404 page, then changing your permalinks is just fine.
If you have done some SEOing to your site, which will affect your backlinks and internal links, I suggest you redirect the old links to the new links.

Agree with maryt! If you plan to change the permalinks, make sure you redirect each and every page (301) properly, or else backlinks will be of no use.
