You can do that with
dpkg -i package-file.deb
This will replace any other version of package-file.deb that already is installed.
As dpkg can't resolve package dependencies it will just complain if you need to downgrade other packages, and you'll have to do that manually.
Note that downgrading isn't officially supported and may cause problems with some packages.
