He's a 5 year-old golden retriever. Nothing has changed in his diet or living conditions. Is there anything that can be done to restore the blackness to his nose?

If aging is the problem, I think I'll just trade him in for a younger model. (just kidding)

This sounds crazy but someone told me it was caused by them eating or drinking out of a plastic bowl. Some kind of reaction to the plastic.
Here is some information:

Color it with a black magic marker. :-)
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
Seriously, I have never heard of that. Maybe a Vet Tech
will answer you.
Edit- I had a 16 year old Yorkie and her nose never turned
pink. I just looked this up on pedigree.com and they said
it could be a variety of things, they mentioned what that
gal said too, allergic reaction to plastic bowls.

Here is the best answer, paint the nose with black spray paint, and problem solved.

Why would you want to change it, it's normal aging like grey hair.

God is the artist and you are requesting a change in his virtual painting?
