Only one I can think of is Teddy Roosevelt. However TR remained in his Republican party while in office.
He left office in 1909, and was succeeded by William Howard Taft, his vice president. However TR was disappointed in Taft's leadership and ran against him as part of the Bull Moose Party in 1912. The split vote put Woodrow Wilson--the Democrat--in office. He remained in office until 1920 and Roosevelt died in 1918.
That's probably more information than you asked for, but hopefully it answers your question.

No, but I'm sure some parties wanted to dump their candidates AFTER they were elected president. To name a few, LBJ (who was very unpopular when he decided not to run for a second term--Dems knew he was a detriment because of Vietnam), Nixon (unpopular because of Watergate, popularity sunk like a rock even after winning a landslide), Carter (Dems particularly didn't like him because he was perceived as being weak with Iran, plus economy was in shambles), & now Bush (Very unpopular, some Repubs will begin to distance themselves from him & I guarantee you he will not speak at the 2008 GOP convention. He's a liability.)
